Progressive Education and Feminist Pedagogies: Issues in Gender, Power, and Authority.
Maher, Frances A.
Teachers College Record, v101 n1 p35-59 Fall 1999
Explores the relationship between feminist pedagogical theory and progressive education related to classroom gender relations and construction of female teacher authority, examining contemporary applications of progressive educational theory to gender issues, addressing teacher authority (noting Dewey's writings on women), and suggesting how thinking about difference as forms of unequal power relations can help reframe the grounds for teacher authority.
