Book review: a recently published book by Anna Garry explores the experiences and accomplishments of 23 women professors
As the outreach officer for the National Center for Competence in Research Molecular Ultrafast Science and Technology at ETH Zürich, Switzerland, Anna Garry has had occasion to talk to many exceptional women in academia, and she felt that their stories warranted a wider audience. To this end, Garry published a book, “Inspiring Conversations with Women Professors: The Many Routes to Career Success,” earlier this year. In the following lightly edited interview excerpts from Garry’s book, she shines a light on the achievements and unique career experiences of three women professors: OSA Fellow Ursula Keller, OSA member Rachel Grange and 2019 OSA Ambassador Clara Saraceno.
Insights and Recommendations
In the process of interviewing 23 impressive professors, Garry found that each woman navigated a different route to success. Still, Garry identified three commonalities: an unstoppable internal drive, an openness to new opportunities and resilience in the face of challenges, and a supportive network. She also found that women professors tend to face gender-specific challenges to their
careers, such as the dual-career problem and unconscious bias. To conclude her book, Garry collected insights and
recommendations from her interviewees on how to pursue a professorship, a job that many women in the book described as “the best in the world.”
