Description
Hope Deferred, initially published in 1965 traces the history of girls' education from Anglo-Saxon England to modern times, telling the story largely through the leading personalities whose opinions and prejudices shaped this history. It outlines the progress of popular education and the work of the pioneers who fought to bring girls' education at every level into line with boys'; and it carries the story into the second half of the twentieth-century to discuss the problem of whether girls are really receiving the right kind of education.
