In my experience, the women who successfully fight back have friends, as well as strong academic records: colleagues who support them, women's faculty groups who champion them, administrators who go to bat for them, journalists who write about them, legislators who inquire about them, and students who root for them. While every situation is unique, a supporting cast is essential—the "lone ranger" academic is not going to ride into the sunset on the back of her excellent work product alone.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/pubsres/academe/2005/MJ/Col/ff.htm"><P>Why don't professional women know this, as a rule? Why are women reluctant to reach out for help? The belief that virtue (merit) is rewarded has deep roots. Many high-achieving women were taught as little girls that if they did good work, recognition would follow as night follows day. They simply don't know what to do when this myth is punctured by the reality of discrimination.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3D7FDBCF-7A5A-4B40-A970-274CC5C7DF16/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
