Closing Thoughts on the Future. . 330 $aThis book is a multi-disciplinary exploration of the intersection, relationship, and connection between higher education, economic development, and gender in post-Apartheid South Africa. In just twenty years, South Africa has rewritten its constitution, restructured its macroeconomic growth and development policies, restructured its higher education system, and made a commitment to provide opportunity for all its citizens, specifically those who have historically been marginalized, women and blacks. Eynon weaves together these unique perspectives to illustrate how these multiple domains map onto women and the critical role they play in the present and future of the country. Gender equality and women?s empowerment and education were considered key drivers to South Africa?s transformation. 606 $aGender identity in education 606 $aHigher education 606 $aGender and Education 606 $aEducation, Higher 615 0$aGender identity in education. 615 0$aHigher education. 615 0$aGender and Education 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 676 $a370.81 700 $aEynon$b Diane E.$01064692 801 0$bOD$ 801 1$bOD$ 912 $a9910255115703321 996 $aWomen, Economic Development, and Higher Education$92540223 997 $aUNINA
