"In this cross-cultural exploration of the comparative experiences of Asian and Western women in higher education management, leading feminist theorist Carmen Luke constructs a provocative framework that situates her own standpoint and experiences alongside those of Asian women she studied over a three-year period.

She conveys some of the complexity of global sweeps and trends in education and feminist discourse as they intersect with local cultural variations and dovetail into patterns of regional similarities."--BOOK JACKET.
