Horn, Pamela

History of Education, v17 n1 p71-82 Mar 1988

Examines the influence of education upon the lives of British working-class girls between 1870-1914, taking into account the fact that for many, schooling was subordinated to work. Discusses gender stereotyping, stating that only the most determined girls obtained, through education, entry into jobs allowing talent development and competition with men. (GEA)
