"Women and Teaching focuses on the social construction of female teachers across the centuries and in nine nations, examining work experiences and policies affecting women in Latin America, North America, and parts of Europe. Each contributor in this new collection presents the dynamics of the feminization of teaching in different socio-historical and political periods. The book includes an overview of gender issues in education, along with well-documented case studies, offering the reader a window into both the gendered culture in schools across the world and the unique social and political events that led each country to the universal presence of women in classrooms."--BOOK JACKET.
