“…Women academics were treated briefly as part of broader studies (e.g., Martinotti &Giasanti, 1977, in relation to Italy, andEliou, 1978 on Greece), in papers presented at conferences, particularly after 1975, which, however, are not easily accessible sources, or in special studies. One can gain a specific picture of women academics during this critical decade in the USA (Cook Freeman, 1977;Tapper, 1981;Clark & Corcoran, 1986) in the United Kingdom (Szreter, 1983;Sutherland, 1985;Over, 1985), in France (Sutherland, 1985;Peiffer, 1986), in the two Germanies and in Finland (Sutherland, 1985), in Switzerland (Garke,!986), in Belgium (Sarlet & Bawin-Legros, 1986), in Sri Lanka (Gunawardena, 1987), in Canada (Von Zur-Muehlen, 1983) and elsewhere. As international statistics give only a very broad picture, individual studies have contributed to making more specific the methodological tools and enriching statistical data with the qualitative studies (see, indicatively, Jensen, 1982;Sutherland, 1985).…”

“…In the case of women academics, Szreter (1983) pointed out that few relevant data exist in general studies of university staffs. 2 The research on women academics has formed a small subfield which relates almost exclusively to the growth of thinking about the status of women in recent years and to the particular interests of researchers who are themselves women.…”

This article focuses on women in the academic profession and reports a study of the social origins of Greek university staff and their career pattern. Data show that women have made few gains as university professors over the past twenty years. The gains recorded in Greece are the result of democratization of the university. As women enter the academy, particularly on teaching staffs, they tend to be older and from more middle-class professional backgrounds than are their male peers. The author notes that the entry of women as academics occurs at a time when universities are experiencing a decline in real and symbolic power.

“…The number of full-time teaching and research posts in universities increased from 25,779 in 1965 to 43,358 in 1979. However, the opportunities for women to enter an academic career, or to achieve positions of higher status, were not enhanced (see Szreter, 1983). Table I shows the percentage of full-time teaching and research positions held by women in British universities in 1965British universities in , 1972British universities in , and 1979.…”

Early career patterns of men and women in British universities

The early career paths of 436 men and 162 women who took up lectureships in British universities in English, modern languages, or psychology in 1971-1973 were identified. Proportionately fewer women (61 percent) than men (80 percent) held a full-time post in a British university ten years after their initial appointment. Among those retaining a university appointment, relatively fewer women (8 percent) than men (18 percent) had advanced to the level of senior lecturer, reader, or professor. Factors that may have served to restrict the career development of women in British universities are discussed. There now is a higher proportion of women than in the past in the pool of graduates who are qualified for academic posts. However, the end to university growth makes it unlikely that the sex ratio of academics will shift substantially in the 1980s or the 1990s. Since promotion has become more competitive than it was in the past, the current sex ratio at senior levels of appointment may also remain relatively unchanged.The number of women in academic appointments in British universities has always been below the representation of women as students. For example, in 1979 women received 37 percent of all first degrees awarded by British universities, as well as 23 percent of all higher degrees. In the same year, however, women held only 14 percent of full-time teaching and research positions in British universities. Further, the men and the women in academic posts differed substantially in terms of their status. Women numbered only one in 40 professors, and one in sixteen senior lecturers or readers. The ratio was instead one in seven
