And Academic Sexism Too: A Comment on "The Bell Curve."
Coulter, Rebecca Priegert
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p308-11 Sep 1995
Like the "scientific" approaches of craniometry and eugenics, Herrnstein and Murray's methods and arguments reveal an ideological position not only on African Americans but also on the role of women. Points out their focus on women in discussions of "illegitimacy," birth control, and parenting, and their targeting of poor women, purportedly of low intelligence, for punitive public policies. (SV)
