Histories of women's education and shifting frames of 'femininity'- Stephanie Spencer and Tim Allender. .This book draws on recent deconstructions around the idea of 'femininity' as a social, racial and class construct and explores the diversity of spaces that may be defined as educational that range from institutional contexts to family, to professional outlooks, to racial identity, to defining community and religious groupings. It explores how notions of femininity change across time and place, and within individual lives. Such changes take place at the interface of external forces and individual agency. The application of the notion of 'femininity' that assumes a consistent definition of the term is interrogated by the authors, leading to a discussion of the rich possibilities for new directions in research into women's lives across time, place, and individual life histories.Social historyCivilizationHistoryEducationHistoryFeminismFeminist theorySocial HistoryCultural HistoryHistory of EducationFeminism and Feminist TheorySocial history.CivilizationHistory.EducationHistory.Feminism.Feminist theory.Social History.Cultural History.History of Education.Feminism and Feminist Theory.370.19345Allender TimSpencer StephanieMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484455903321Femininity' and the history of women's education2571542UNINA
