Women, Class, and School Reform.
Mickelson, Roslyn Arlin; Wadsworth, Angela L.
Educational Policy, v10 n3 p315-41 Sep 1996
Analyzes ordinary women's role in shaping school reform in their community, highlighting interplay of class conflict, regionalism, and gender roles in reform efforts. The women protesting the Odyssey Project framed the debate as a juncture between a national, elitist reform movement and a local grassroots countermovement protecting children, family, and community identity.
