Women, University and History in Central Europe (Aleksandra Derra)

This book offers a compelling exploration of how women's stories shape - and are often erased from - the life of a university. Using the Nicolaus Copernicus University as a vivid case study, it uncovers the hidden labour, gendered barriers, and structural inequalities that define academic institutions worldwide. By restoring women to the centre of the narrative, the volume invites readers to rethink how universities remember, value, and organise themselves. It is both a revelation of the past and a call to imagine more inclusive futures across higher education.
