Is the Post-Secondary Classroom a Chilly One for Women? A Review of the Literature.
Williams, Dana
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v20 n3 p29-42 1990
Review of the literature suggests that class participation by female students is increased when the teacher is female and/or the teacher has had training in sex equitable behavior. Women students rate female teachers higher than male teachers; and later achievement and confidence of female students are correlated with attending a women's college and having female teachers.
