Abstract

Our last chapter will bring together elements of the previous discussions to show why we need to celebrate women in higher education (HE). One way we do this is by moving away from referencing conventions and using authors first and last names if they are women. There are good reasons for this, as you will read in the chapter. Our book has used personal experiences, linked to the wider body of evidence and theory to highlight the unique perspectives and challenges that nursing and midwifery academics inhabit. In doing so we hope to reach a deeper understanding of who and what material we are drawing on to educate our nursing and midwifery students. We examine the type of curriculum and content needed not only to celebrate women’s experiences but also to make a positive impact on the learners and ensure social justice is at the heart of what we teach. Overall, we aim to summarise how in raising women’s voices, making the issues we experience, personal and professional, more visible and celebrating other women in our professional groups and HE we contribute to the future development and progress of all.
