An examination of women educationists in nineteenth and early
twentieth century Britain. Working with new paradigms opened up by
feminist scholarship, it reveals how women leaders were determined
to transform education in the quest for a better society. Previous
scholarship has either neglected the contributions of these women
or has misplaced them. Consequently intellectual histories of
education have come to seem almost exclusively masculine. This
collection shows the important role which figures such as Mary
Carpenter, Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon, Elizabeth Edwards and
Maria Montessori played in the struggle to provide greater
educational opportunities for women. The contributors are: Anne
Bloomfield, Kevin J. Brehony, Norma Clarke, Peter Cunningham, Mary
Jane Drummond, Elizabeth Edwards, Mary Hilton, Pam Hirsch, Jane
Miller, Hilary Minns, Wendy Robinson, Gillian Sutherland and Ruth
Watts.
