Single-sex education raises controversy on ideological grounds, and in 1996 the Supreme Court struck down the all-male admissions policy at the Virginia Military Institute in a decision that has cast a legal cloud over public initiatives. In this timely book, Rosemary Salomone offers a reasoned educational and legal argument supporting single-sex education as an alternative to coeducation, particularly in the case of disadvantaged minority students.Salomone examines the history of women's education and exclusion, philosophical and psychological theories of sameness and difference, findings on educational achievement and performance, the research evidence on single-sex schooling, and the legal questions that have arisen. Correcting many of the current misconceptions about single-sex education, she argues that it is a viable option and that the road to gender equality should be paved with diverse educational opportunities for all students-regardless of race, class, or gender. 606 $aSingle-sex schools$zUnited States 606 $aWomen$xEducation (Secondary)$zUnited States 606 $aSex differences in education$zUnited States 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States 606 $aFeminism and education$zUnited States 615 0$aSingle-sex schools 615 0$aWomen$xEducation (Secondary) 615 0$aSex differences in education 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aFeminism and education 676 $a371.822 700 $aSalomone$b Rosemary C$01036870 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806902803321 996 $aSame, Different, Equal$93953178 997 $aUNINA
