Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault
Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault (Wheelock’79) of Portland, Ore., published Living When Everything Changed: My Life in Academia (Rutgers University Press,2019), a memoir in which she describes how a Catholic girl from small-town Nebraska discovered her callings as a feminist, an academic, and a university administrator. She writes that she “recounts her experiences at three very different schools: the small progressive Lewis & Clark College, the massive regional university of Cal State Fullerton, and the rapidly expanding Portland State University.” Reflecting on her accomplishments and challenges, she considers just how much second-wave feminism has transformed academia and how much reform is still needed.
