The international narratives highlight the commonalities and differences in the struggles experienced by academic mothers with their unique contexts. This book contributes to our collective understanding of the challenges experienced by academic mothers in their professional contexts owing to motherhood as they navigate their way through the ever-increasing demands of the higher education contexts.
