Description
Girls remain second-class citizens in education and beyond, despite improvements in their relative academic success at the school leaving level. This book examines how and why girls' education is subordinated to that of boys', and how this analysis can be used to investigate the position of other subordinated groups.
The author argues that by focusing on what distinguishes the 'normal' from the 'other', we can begin to challenge the ideas and assumptions of our educational system. This thought-provoking analysis makes for a compelling read for anyone interested in education and social inequality.
First published in 1998, this book provides a valuable insight into the ways in which education systems can perpetuate inequality. It is a thought-provoking and timely read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of education and social justice.
