About this title

From Library Journal:

Feminist research has documented classroom bias, explored sex differences in learning, and proposed ways to incorporate the study of women. Martin, a philosopher, considers the unexamined assumptions that control efforts to construct an education that will produce the adults a society wants. Analyzing proposals for women's education written by Plato, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, Catharine Beecher, and Charlotte Gilman, Martin asks critical questions about the consequences of educational theory. Her careful work shows the impossibility of just ``adding women''a serious effort to design ideal education for women makes it necessary also to rethink men's schooling. This is an important book, but rather heavy going for nonspecialists. Sally Mitchell, English Dept., Temple Univ., Philadelphia
