The academic world remains highly unequal, namely in terms of full professor and senior management positions. To understand the causes of this gender inequity, the authors examine the working conditions of female professors. Their findings are based on several research and reports as well as testimonies of women professors in a Canadian university. The authors observe cumulative disadvantages: unequal distribution of domestic labour and child care, chilly climate within the workplace, stereotypes and prejudices, and systematic undervaluation of women research.
