In this memoir, Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault describes how a Catholic girl from Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, as an academic, and as a university administrator. Reflecting on both her accomplishments and challenges, she considers just how much second-wave feminism has transformed academia and how much reform is still needed.

Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault is provost emerita at Portland State University in Oregon. She is also the author or coauthor of several books, including The Feminist Classroom: Dynamics of Gender, Race, and Privilege.
