Abstract
“I don’t know who you think you are, girly, but don’t tell me what to do.”
When this statement emerged from the mouth of a colleague, I was in my forties and was already a dean. I was a girly with three bachelor’s degrees, three master’s degrees, two graduate diplomas and a PhD. I was a girly who had written 17 books and nearly 200 refereed articles and book chapters. I was a girly who had worked in nine universities in four countries.
