Críticas

"Biklen's qualitative sources provide rich insights and her blend of sociology and history offers a fresh conceptual approach." --History of Education Quarterly

Reseña del editor

This book examines teaching as a gendered occupation from the perspectives of contemporary women teachers (ascertained through interviews and participant observation in two schools), and historical teachers (whose views are constructed through diaries and letters archived in libraries). Equally important, the book examines meanings about teachers that circulate in the culture through fiction, biography, and talk.
