Abstract

As the tag line suggests, this book offers a practical guide to navigating sexism in Australian universities. Please note that when we use the terms male and female in this review, we reflect the categories Devlin employs, and that since 2014 universities have been reporting an aggregate number for "indeterminate/intersex/unspecified gender". However, this will only be actualised if women who achieve personal career success through employing the interventions Devlin promotes, use their leadership for positive role-modelling and gender equity change agency to help change the academic game and even the odds.
