Histories of women's education and shifting frames of 'femininity'- Stephanie Spencer and Tim Allender. . 330 $aThis 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. 606 $aSocial history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aSocial History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 14$aSocial History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 676 $a370.19345 702 $aAllender$b Tim 702 $aSpencer$b Stephanie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484455903321 996 $aFemininity' and the history of women's education$92571542 997 $aUNINA
