Policy Discourses, Gender, and Education: Constructing Women's Status

By Elizabeth J. Allan

Book Overview

Despite over thirty years of activism and legislation to eliminate discrimination, parity has yet to be achieved for women in academe. Allan's findings reveal how dominant discourses of femininity, access, professionalism, race, and sexuality contribute to constructing women's status in complex and at times, contradictory ways.
