    The Glass/Colored Ceiling
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2012*

The cover of the book, Presumed Incompetent, is a representation of the contents. It shows not a white face but a face of many colors, looking you straight in the eyes, confronting you. So much has been written about the "Glass Ceiling" but what has not been addressed is the additional ceiling that women of color in academia face, "The Color Ceiling".  The many women who share their experiences break your heart as well as make you angry about the racism they endure.What is most distressing are the women,  usually not as educated or talented, who pander to the oppressive white men to gain favors rather than join in a supportive sisterhood of other women, all women.Although all essays share a different yet similar experience, in" Igualadas", page 287, the author particularly impassioned me with her courage and ability to rise above the insults.  It is a rubric that should serve as a model, women do not have to perpetuate the injustices done to them.Congratulations to the editors who compiled these essays, that opened all eyes to the past practices of universities and colleges who should set a standard for equality.

    Truly Inspirational
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012*

I ordered my copy through Amazon and waited for it with much anticipation.  I am in the process of reading it and it is amazing!  It speaks to experiences that many of us live in our daily lives, whether in academia or in other patriarchal, racist/sexist systems.  I thank the women who shared and collaborated to provide context for what women face in academia. This book will need a second and third edition, and a follow-up book.  Unfortunately, the problems that these women describe in the book are still prevalent in society today.  But this book is at least doing something about it - raising issues, continuing a long overdue discussion, and providing comfort for individuals who are struggling with similar issues.  THANK YOU TO THE EDITORS AND AUTHORS!!!

    Amazing, groundbreaking book!
  

*by V***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2013*

This is an excellent collection of essays that explores and reveals the intensely challenging world of the female academic of color.  The level of bias these brave women have to encounter on a regular basis, despite the incredible number of accolades they have accumulated during decades of extremely difficult academic work, is shocking.  As someone who is of mixed race and nationality, and who has also earned her Ph.D., I can attest that all of the truths in the essays are very true for ALL female academics of color, in one way or another.  This anthology is honest and important!  I cannot stress that enough.
