'Madeleine Arnot has been at the forefront of feminist scholarship in education since the early 1980s. This collection of her essays charts an absorbing intellectual history of her engagements with key theorists in educational sociology and feminist theory and politics in education. It is sophisticated, provocative, lively and essential reading for all with an interest in gender.' - Professor Jane Kenway, University of South Australia'Madeleine Arnot is perhaps the most sophisticated and subtle feminist theorist of the sociology of education now writing in English' - Professor Kathleen Weiler, Tufts University
'The book is written in an accessible way. It provides a useful summary of the main explanations of 'the problem of boys' and relates these explanations to the literature ... a welcome book to the field.' - Gender and Education
