南溪霍普金斯是麻省理工学院的生物学教授。她渴望知识,努力工作。然而,

作为一名科学家,她不得不注意到校园里的男女不平等的各种表现。男女教授同样的工作,但是到提升的时候,行政领导却很有选择性。具有讽刺意味的是在取得这么多的文化进步以后,妇女在高等学府仍然处于不利的地位。当她增加实验室面积的请求被拒之后,她知道她必须起来抗争。因此她咬紧牙关向校长申诉。这次抗争以胜利告终,南希也因此变成了男女平等的倡导者。Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.
