Those Good Gertrudes explores the professional, civic, and personal
roles of women teachers throughout American history. Its voice,
themes, and findings build from the mostly unpublished writings of
many women and their families, colleagues, and pupils. Geraldine J.
Clifford studied personal history manuscripts in archives and
consulted printed autobiographies, diaries, correspondence, oral
histories, interviews-even film and fiction-to probe the
multifaceted imagery that has surrounded teaching. This broad
ranging, inclusive, and comparative work surveys a long past where
schoolteaching was essentially men's work, with women relegated to
restricted niches such as teaching rudiments of the vernacular
language to young children and socializing girls for traditional
gender roles. Clifford documents and explains the emergence of
women as the prototypical schoolteachers in the United States, a
process apparent in the late colonial period and continuing through
the nineteenth century, when they became the majority of American
public and private schoolteachers. The capstone of Clifford's
distinguished career and the definitive book on women teachers in
America, Those Good Gertrudes will engage scholars in the history
of education and women's history, teachers past, present, and
future, and readers with vivid memories of their own teachers.
