12 Women in Education

By Marne Ventura

Book Overview

From Helen Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, to Lucy Wheelock, inventor of kindergarten, the great music teacher Nadia Boulanger, and congresswoman Patsy Mink, who championed Title IX, this book profiles 12 women from around the world who had a profound influence on education. Each chapter includes attention-grabbing photos, biographical details, and fascinating facts. Sidebars go beyond the basics, and prompts invite readers to think for themselves. An Out of the Shadows section features mini-bios of women in education who never got the recognition they deserved.
