Description

Originally published in 1987, this title was first submitted as a doctoral dissertation at the University of California, Berkeley in 1974.

Completed just as the years of expansion in higher education were drawing to a close, it reflects the growing doubts of the period as to the ability of formal education provision alone to effect major changes in the distribution of socio-economic privilege at the group level, whether as between the sexes, classes, or ethnic groups.

Reforms in women’s education had traditionally been dealt with as a small part of the women’s emancipation movement.

This book approaches the education reforms in a different way and begins with the question of which social groups participated in the movement.

Seen from this point of view, a primary interest of the reforms is the function they served in promoting a redefinition of the status and roles of a social elite.
