Providing an overview of the various understandings and approaches
taken to dyslexia over the last 100 years, this text considers why
men have traditionally taken the lead in dyslexia theory and
research, whilst women have often been confined to practice.
Exploring how and why particular pathways in dyslexia theory,
research and practice were historically pursued, whilst other
potentially successful methods were not, Montgomery argues that
gender bias has played a significant and often obstructive role in
the development of our identification and understanding of
dyslexia. Explaining why women and girls have often been
under-represented in dyslexia clinics and in research, chapters
trace the contributions made by dyslexia pioneers, analyse current
problems within education and research systems, and document
widespread patterns of misogyny and gender discrimination in the
field. Montgomery links dyslexia history, current research
paradigms and transgender experiences, to ask whether assumed male
superiority has disadvantaged dyslexic learners, and whether it
will continue to do so. In the process, she presents a new
trajectory for research and practice. A timely exploration of the
impacts of gender discrimination on research and education, this
text provides essential insight into the subtle impacts of sexism
on dyslexic learners.
