Sex Differences in Education: An Overview.
Sutherland, Margaret B.
Comparative Education, v23 n1 p5-9 1987
Discusses three areas in which prevailing attitudes seem to work against equal opportunities for women: (1) attitudes underlying female choices of certain subjects and occupations; (2) attitudes of society and employers toward women workers; and (3) attitudes which attribute child-care and domestic tasks almost exclusively to females.
