Through the variety of topics covered, editors Janice Koch and Beverly Irby present an overview of the basics of the field, contemporary issues in gender equity, and where the field is heading. In addition to providing interesting research, many of the articles offer practical suggestions for implementation of policies to combat gender inequity in schools. As such, this volume is appropriate for use by those exploring gender equity for the first time as well as for those who have made its study their passion. Anyone who is committed to the ideals of honoring and integrating women and men from all backgrounds into an equitable society will find Defining and Redefining Gender Equity in Education to be a valuable resource." ~ Reviewed in "Education Review" by Margaret Sallee, The Ohio State University "The book is written in an accessible style, useful for undergraduates studying education or gender in the US, and for those from outside who want background on the US context at the turn of the century. Although the book has not been written for an international audience, it covers themes of relevance globally, and has parallels with gender equity concerns in many others countries since the 1970s."~Reviewed by:Janet Raynor Institute of Education, University of London, UK | ||
