Abstract
Women’s experiences in academia are laden with a fundamental set of issues pertaining to gender inequalities.
A model reflecting women’s career development and experiences around their academic pipeline (or career in
academia) is presented. This model further conveys a new perspective on the experiences of women academicians
before, during and after their faculty appointments and can help in career counseling. Specifically, this model
provides career counselors with a framework to conceptualize the concerns of women clients who work in academic
environments. Other implications for career counseling as well as limitations and future directions also are
discussed.
