Inhalt:
"The chapters in this edited collection train the intellectual spotlight on women educators to trace the contours of their professional lives and the extent to which they challenged the gendered terrain they occupied. The emphasis is on women's historical public voices and their own interpretation of their 'selves' and 'lives' in their struggle to exercise authority in education at a particular historical moment and in a particular culture. Framing each of the women educators as agents of their own lives emphasizes their individual consciousness and ability to act within their own professional sphere. Thus, women need to be viewed in terms of the historical context in which they lived and the social positions they occupied"--
