mission statement
In its final form, this zine will...
1) Explain how systemic sexism can make male-dominated fields hostile to women, regardless of whether
individuals in these fields are explicitly sexist
2) Explain what women want from the faculties of
male-dominated academic departments
3) Emphasize that academic faculties must give women
and minorities special support in order to counteract
the effects of systemic sexism
4) Offer methods of providing support (in advising situations and in the classroom)
5) Validate the experiences of women in male dominated fields
6) Provide a space for women in male-dominated fields
to productively air their grievances
