A Content Analysis of Ten Popular History Textbooks for Primary Schools with Particular Emphasis on the Role of Women.
Cairns, Joyce; Inglis, Bill
Educational Review, v41 n3 p221-26 1989
Content of 10 British primary school history textbooks was analyzed to identify their emphases and approach to the role of women. Although most contained a broad range of types of history, political and military history was favored. Qualitative and quantitative analysis disclosed that all but one presented a very traditional approach to the role of women. (SK)
