and also, I'd hypothesise on the basis of the experience of friends of mine in
the academic world, wanted to be far more nurturant above and beyond any
reasonable expectation, than any man would ever be assumed to be. (Especially,
my highly anecdotal evidence suggests, by women students.)
As an archivist/research historians who is at a late stage/age and with much
tentativeness, moving in to doing some part-time university teaching, this all
rather adds to my feelings of trepidation!
