Reproducing gender?

"Reproducing Gender? charts the development of a theory of gender relations, built up over the last twenty years. This theory has been highly influential in establishing the importance of sociology of women's education for the study of society. It demonstrates the power of feminist educational theory and research and its role in creating new political and academic agendas." "Taking gender codes as a key concept, this book explores gender relationships at all levels of schooling. It brings together political, social and cultural theories to understand continuity and change in gender and education." "This book will be essential reading for students and academics in the areas of gender studies, women's studies, educational policy, sociology and history of education."--Jacket.
