ISBN: 9783039113958 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Shortlisted for the Anne Bloomfield Prize 2010
Across the ninety years of its history, the University of New Zealand (1871-1961) appointed four women professors to the academic staff.

Accordingly, academic women, and in particular this first generation of women professors, were officially invisible both to their (male) colleagues and to the institution. This...
