Amanda Cross (pseudonym of feminist critic, Carolyn Heilbrun) are very good. Virago published them in the 80s.

Subject: Re: Academic memoirs and novels
Have you tried Cynthia Franklin's Academic Lives or Zavattaro's reflections on academic lives?

Hello all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for good writing about the academic life? I’m looking for non-academic literature: memoirs, fiction, biographies etc. along the lines of Les Back’s Academic Diary, or The Lecturer’s Tale by James Hynes. And ideally more up to date than the classic campus novels e.g. Lucky Jim or The History Man.
Thanks!
Alex
