Knowing Women is a comprehensive study of female education in
nineteenth-century Australia, placed in international perspective.
It covers a wide range of topics, including the evolution of the
teaching profession; the private ladies' academies and their
proprietors; the entry of women to the universities and the
professions; the establishment of academic secondary schools, both
Church and state; girls' experience of compulsory state elementary
schooling; and the schooling of outcast girls. The study is rich in
narrative and biographical interest, based, where possible, on the
experiences of individual girls and women. Knowing Women explores
the ambiguities of its material, showing how education could both
open and restrict opportunities for women. The author's perspective
allows her to contribute to current historical debates on women,
culture, education, sexuality and the state.
