Description
In the past 25 years there has been an enormous increase in the amount of research exploring issues of gender and schooling. New journals have been established, and in the older journals, special issues have been devoted to addressing gender equity in education.
For the editors this has raised some questions and concerns as we organized the topics for this first volume of the Research on Women and Education book series.
