The experiences span undergraduate college, graduate school, and present employment. Issues include discriminatory practices in undergraduate education, sexual exploits of professors in undergraduate and graduate school, role differentiation difficulties, child bearing, and why women don't retaliate. Issues and problems are discussed and problem solutions are proposed.
