Description
This work is about women's education; it is not about education for women. "Women's education" is education which is possessed or owned by women, is provided by women for women, is designed for and about women, and focuses on the needs of women. Maggie Coats celebrates the achievements of women's education over the past 20 years, paying tribute to the women who have been involved in it. She describes and analyzes the meaning, development and distinctive characteristics of women's education, arguing that we should build upon the lessons learnt during the las two decades; that we should expand rather than contract provision; and that we should make a long-term commitment to women's education.
