The portrayal of Scotland as a particularly patriarchal society has
traditionally had the effect of marginalizing Scottish women, both
teachers and students, in both Scottish and British history. "The
Schooling of Working-Class Girls in Victorian Scotland "examines
and challenges this assumption and analyses in detail the course of
events which has led to a more enlightened system.
Education was, and is, seen as integral to Scottish
distinctiveness, but the Victorian period saw anxious debate about
the impact of outside influences at a time when Scottish society
seemed to be fracturing. This book examines the gender-blindness of
the educational tradition, with its notion of the 'democratic
intellect', testing the claim of superiority for the Scottish
system, and questioning the assumption that Scottish women were
either passive victims or willing dupes of a peculiarly patriarchal
ideal.
Considering the influences of the related ideologies of patriarchy
and domesticity, and the crucial importance of the local and
regional economic context, in focusing on female education, this
book provides a much wider comparative study of Scottish society
during a period of tremendous upheaval and a perceived crisis in
national identity, in which women, as well as men, participated.
