Description of the history of women’s teaching experiences at Harvard Law School, as told through the stories of female faculty members and visiting professors. Recurring themes in their stories are: pressure to prove themselves as one of a very few female students in their law school class: discrimination in the application process for clerkships and law firm jobs: harsh scrutiny of their scholarship and teaching by male faculty: struggles in the tenure process: a lack of nurturing, which would have aided them in discovering their full potential as teachers: and difficulties in balancing work pressures with family commitments.
