| Abstract
|
:
|
Education and Gender Equality helps build a new feminist framework for analyzing education. With its twelve chapters, the book has a wide scope, containing comparative historical accounts of the development of women's education, challenging chapters on girls' academic achievement compared with that of boys, and ethnographic material on the interplay of race and class in shaping women's schooling. Other chapters focus on feminist pedagogy, gender differences in parents' involvement in their children's schooling, and working-class women's transfer of educational ambitions from themselves to their children. The authors explore the pervasive gender inequalities found in education and the resistance of women and girls to subordination. They consider how gender inequalities in education connect with still broader social inequalities of class and power. Theoretically informed and rich in detail, the chapters rely on a variety of methods. There are ethnographic studies, quantitative historical and contemporary studies, and reports based on participant observation. The range of methods and topics reflects the vigor and scope of feminist research in education. By pulling together some of the best of this work, the hook shows what has been done and points directions for further research.
