Foreword by Mary Catherine Bateson
"These are rich, poignant, and highly illuminating accounts of women scholars’ struggles to reconcile their personal and professional lives, their personal histories and research interests, and their aspirations and experiences."
–Mary Ann Dzuback, Washington University
"This book’s importance is that the women who write these essays are not alike and this attention to difference constructs a multivocal gender. So many negotiations."
–Sari Knopp Biklen, Syracuse University
"These stories of other women researchers help each of us see new possibilities in our own lives and help us to imaginatively open other plot lines for how we might each compose our stories to live by."
–D. Jean Clandinin, University of Alberta

Gumport, Gloria Ladson-Billings, Ellen Condliffe Lagemann, Martha Montero-Sieburth, Anna Neumann, Nel Noddings, Penelope L. Peterson, and Linda F. Winfield.
