The frequent assumption that educational expansion tends to be associated with reduction of inequalities of opportunity is examined in respect of how women fared from 1963 to 1980 within the prestigious profession of university teaching. In a sample of five universities, relatively few women achieved promotion above the ‘career grade ̊s of lecturer (even in the areas where they have been traditionally relatively well represented, such as the humanities). Over the period studied, despite a propitious social context but given certain structural and attitudinal resistances, the inequality of women as university teachers in England in the post-Robbins era has not been markedly reduced
