Exposing the complexity of single-sex schooling, this book sheds new light on how gender operates in policy and practice in education. The essays collected in this volume cover a wide range of U.S. and international institutions from K-12 to higher education in both public and private school. Detailing the educational experiences of both young men and women, this collection examines how schooling shapes - and is shaped by - the social construction of gender in history and in contemporary society.
