Gender and Professionalization: An Institutional Analysis of Teacher Education and Unionism at the Turn of the Twentieth Century.
Gitlin, Andrew
Teachers College Record, v97 n4 p588-624 Sum 1996
Focusing on 1880-1920, the paper examines how professionalization projects, like those endorsed by normal schools and schools of education, contributed to vertical and horizontal divisions of labor by constructing differing views of professionalization that supported gendered assumptions about women and teaching. Local unions provided a counterforce to these divisions of labor. (SM)
