Reviews

‘With few exceptions, historians of vocationalism have followed the lead of the pioneers in the filed by neglecting girls. But now in this insightful and important book, Jane Bernard Powers illuminates the other side of the story...a timely and significant contribution to the literature of educational history and women’s history.’ David B Tyack, Stanford University, USA.
