Product Description Elementary school teaching opened up opportunities for professional careers to thousands of lower-middle-class women in London at the turn of the century. Women of this class have been largely absent from historical record. Dina M. Copelman shows how the lives they led, while fascinating in their own right, also shed light on much wider historical debates. London's Women Teachers contributes to the social history of education and social policy, presenting a wealth of archival research and addressing the expnding literature on gender and the role of education in the development of the modern welfare state. The book will appeal to those in British and women's history, and the history of education. | ||
