Reviews

In Rural Young Women, Education, and Socio-Spatial Mobility, Wendy Geller undertakes an impressive synthesis of diverse literatures in order to make sense of the complexities of identity formation among rural young women as they confront the challenges of late-modern societies and their local-global influences. The focus on how high-achieving secondary-school students derive meaning in their current lives, and how this relates to their perceptions of identity horizons, is particularly illuminating. This qualitative study is especially well-situated in the growing literature concerning how, locally and globally, young women are increasingly outperforming their male peers. -- James Cote, University of Western Ontario
