Myra Strober became a feminist on the Bay Bridge, going toward SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. It really is 1970. She has just been told by the chairman of Berkeley's economics office that she can never get tenure. Driving home afterward, wondering if she received something from the freezer on her behalf family's dinner, she realizes the reality: she actually is being denied a regular faculty position because she actually is a mother. Flooded with anger, she also locates her life's work: to review and deal with sexism, in the workplace, in academia, with home. Strober's ample memoir catches the spirit of the revolution lived fully, from her Brooklyn youth (and her shock at age twelve when she's banished to the women's balcony at shul) to her groundbreaking Stanford workshop on women and work. In the 1970s, the word "sexual harassment" hadn't yet been coined. Occupational segregation, quantifying the value of work in the home, and the expense of discrimination were new ideas. Strober was a pioneer, assisting to create a new educational field and founding corporations to establish it. But she wasn't exclusively: she benefited from the women's motion, institutional change, and new federal government regulations that suspended sex discrimination. She goes on the task today and invites us to become listed on her. The booklet is printed by MIT Press."Men and women will find a pal in these internet pages." (Gloria Steinem)"Strober's compelling storyline is a page-turner, a home run! It should be required reading running a business, law, and every one of the interpersonal sciences." (Irma Herrera, ex - Executive Director, Equal Rights Advocates)"In such a beautifully written booklet, Myra Strober deftly combines her personal storyline with the changes in women's lives over the last area of the twentieth hundred years… A wonderful read."
