Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault

FreeEntering the academy at the dawn of the women’s rights movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the first generation of feminist academics had a difficult journey. With few female role models, they had to forge their own path and prove that feminist scholarship was a legitimate enterprise. In her compelling memoir, Living When Everything Changed (Rutgers), Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault describes how a Catholic girl from small-town Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, as an academic, and as a university administrator. She recounts her experiences at three very different schools: Lewis & Clark College, Cal State Fullerton, and Portland State University.
