“…A feminist perspective on mentoring has stressed the reciprocal nature of mentoring relationships. Moore (1984), for example, advocated an emphasis on (wo)mentoring-women mentoring other women, which she contended is sharing of power, competence, self, and differences. As Hetherington and Barcelo (1985) (1988) and DeFour (1991) described the importance of feminist female faculty to mentor female graduate students, especially considering the politics of cross-race and cross-sex mentor-protege relationships.…”

Have I been overtly discriminated against? Possibly no. Have I been encouraged, helped, congratulated, received recognition, gotten a friendly hello, a solicitous "can I help you out?" The answer is no. Being a woman here just makes you be tougher, work harder, and hope if you get a 4.0 GPA [grade point average] someone will say, "You're good." Perhaps like a fellow student told me, 'you're only here to get a husband.' If that were true, I can think of easier, less painful and discouraging ways.When people treated me differently in college because I was Black and female in things like counseling me on the choice of a major or making comments about my background or about Blacks, I wondered what was wrong with me.

“…This lack of recognition of leadership skills of the narrators is partly due to a pattern of underrepresentation of women in administration in U.S. academia where the sex discrimination effects are especially visible (Moore 1984;Gupton and Slick 1996;Nidiffer and Bashaw 2001). In addition to sexism, women of color in academic administration share stories of experience of racism (Moore 1990;Ideta and Cooper 1999).…”

“…While the specialist/generalist issue is one side of the preparation argument, another side is the growing importance of academic credentials as criteria in upward mobility without a corresponding value ascribed to years of experience. As this imbalance is a fairly recent phenomenon (Moore, 1984), the valuing of a terminal degree over years of experience and local knowledge may come as a surprise to many longtime administrators. Loyal heads of units such as physical plant, business af€airs, and student affairs who have built institutional careers are very susceptible to the predicament of reduced mobility due to lack of advanced degrees.…”
