Review Essay: No Day at the Beach: Women “Making It” in Academia

Brenda Jo Brueggemann ; Rachel Gramer

Abstract

The books reviewed here share the theme of women “making it†in the world of rhetoric and composition academe. The reviewers first critically summarize each of the three collections; then narratively synthesize their personal experiences with four prominent themes across these collections: knowing, balance, mentoring, and change. This four-part woven analysis, shows and tells tales from women about what has been lurking in the academy’s closet and what still needs to change.
