The article draws on case study research in five european Universities exploring the free, original voice of women who, as teachers, researchers, and university administrators, recount their own university experience, the obstacles in their path and the resistance met with, as well as their own strategies and work practices – including inventive practices –. In the current crisis of the Western universities, caught in the grips of financial distress and symbolic conflicts regarding their mission, we need to give a political transformative sense to these practices and words, offering a new measure of university life necessary for all.

Abstract
The article draws on case study research in five european Universities exploring the free, original voice of women who, as teachers, researchers, and university administrators, recount their own university experience, the obstacles in their path and the resistance met with, as well as their own strategies and work practices – including inventive practices –. In the current crisis of the Western universities, caught in the grips of financial distress and symbolic conflicts regarding their mission, we need to give a political transformative sense to these practices and words, offering a new measure of university life necessary for all.
