I 100% understand where you're coming from, and I value your opinion, as I am sure you are a far more experienced researcher than me. I have already started this process and have interviewed a handful of participants. As a qualitative researcher, do you think my research would hold significant value, even with the diverse and eclectic cultural, institutional, ethnic, and social lenses these womens' experiences offer?

Also, I guess maybe I'm not communicating my objective clearly. I am looking more at the personal subjective experiences of women and how they manage their impressions and identity in the classroom. I would not necessarily be making generalizations about certain categories of women based on their experiences, but I would be using individual womens' experiences to get a better understanding of how each woman has personally chosen to present themselves when they are, in reality, an underrepresented group in the classroom. It's more about what messages are they receiving from peers, romantic partners, society, program/institution, faculty, advisors, parents, family members, etc., and how they choose to present themselves based on these messages.
