Produktbeschreibung

Susan Barron, a new PhD in psychology, struggles to transition from graduate student to assistant professor. She must handle a second shift of cultures when she moves from New York City to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada to assume her first faculty position. Set in 1974, shortly after Richard Nixon resigns the US presidency, the book describes the era when women psychologists begin academic careers in greater numbers---an era with few female mentors and before the recognition of a 'chilly climate' for female professors.
