Abstract
Bernard looks back at the last decade and notes that although many things have improved, women at all levels in academia still face more subtle forms of discrimination, which comprise what she calls the “Inferiority Curriculum.” Exposure of these subtle discriminatory behaviors is gradually occurring through what Bernard has termed the “Feminist Enlightenment,” a discipline-by-discipline process which began in the mid-1960s. Bernard documents many “down-putting” behaviors that continue to undermine women's achievement and argues the necessity of overcoming the damage by building positive self-images among women.
