Schoolsmart and Motherwise Working-Class Women's Identity and Schooling
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Routledge
- Publish date: 04/01/1997
Description:
Schoolsmart and Motherwise illustrates how and why American education disadvantages working-class women both when they are children and when they are adults. In it we hear working-class women -- black and white, rural and urban, southern and northern -- recount their childhood experiences, describing the circumstances that led them to drop out of school. Now enrolled in adult education programs, they seek more than a diploma: respect, recognition and a public identity.
Expand description
Drawing upon the life stories of these women, Wendy Luttrell sensitively describes and analyzes the politics and psychodynamics that shape working-class life, schooling, and identity. She examines the paradox of women's education, particularly the relationship between schooling and mothering, and offers suggestions for school reform.
