- Summary:
- Gender and Women's Education is a fascinating comparative study of constructions of female nature in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Focussing on debates surrounding women's entry into higher education, it explores how gender difference was negotiated in Britain, Germany and Spain. While recognising similarities, the author shows how in each country these debates were shaped by the distinct historical context.
