Women's Rights: A Seamstress' Analysis.
Ayim, Maryann
Canadian Journal of Education, v11 n3 p215-30 Sum 1986
This paper examines correlative distinctions between the normative and factual senses of rights and the formal and substantive senses of equality of opportunity. Although women frequently have access to formal equality of opportunity, they seldom enjoy substantive equality. The role of education as an agent of reform is explored. (Author/JAZ)
