Download and read online ebook ‘Femininity’ and the History of Women's Education write by Tim Allender. This book was released on 2020-12-18. ‘Femininity’ and the History of Women's Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book draws on recent deconstructions around the idea of ‘femininity’ as a social, racial and class construct and explores the diversity of spaces that may be defined as educational that range from institutional contexts to family, to professional outlooks, to racial identity, to defining community and religious groupings. It explores how notions of femininity change across time and place, and within individual lives. Such changes take place at the interface of external forces and individual agency. The application of the notion of ‘femininity’ that assumes a consistent definition of the term is interrogated by the authors, leading to a discussion of the rich possibilities for new directions in research into women’s lives across time, place, and individual life histories.

Download and read online ebook Better Than Rubies write by Phyllis Stock. This book was released on 1978. Better Than Rubies available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It begins with a survey of women's education from antiquity to the Middle Ages and continues with a detailed account from the Renaissance through the Reformation, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution to the 20th century. The major countries covered are France, Germany, Russia, England, Italy, and the United States. Dr. Stock does two things with this hitherto neglected subject: she disinters the historical facts and development country by country and century by century, and she looks for answers to certain fundamental questions. What types of education have been available to women in the past? Under what conditions are women likely to be offered education, and why? How is women's education related to the social structure and to women's relations with men? In conclusion, Dr. Stock sums up present conditions and points out the distance yet to go.
