This paper is an exploratory inquiry into some aspects of protest for sex equality by academic women. The analysis is based on published and unpublished information on sex discrimination in academia, as well as a sample of 65 cases of academic women obtained from a pilot survey. Following introductory material, Part II emphasizes patterns of response to sex discrimination including sensitizing academics, use of "regular" channels, confrontation, and activism outside academia. Part III reviews the effects of protest on the individual and on the institution. Part IV analyzes the accomplishments and failures derived from protesting women's stratagems. Part V, an overview of future response to the women's movement, discusses the corrective actions that should be taken by government agencies and professional associations as well as needed academic reforms.
