How can we transform the culture and institutional structure of schools and teacher education programmes to ensure the intellectual, social, and economic well-being of girls and women? Despite some advances as a result of the women's movement and Title IX, much work remains to be done. The lived experiences of girls and young women, particularly those of colour, are underaddressed, as are the conditions faced by the heavily female teaching force. This volume reaches beyond the liberal conception of gender equity to explore how the insights of feminism and other challenging theory in regard to race and class can be used to create social justice strategies that work in classrooms, school, teacher education, and professional development.
