Stalemate: Girls and a Mixed-Gender Chess Club.
Galitis, Ingrid
Gender and Education, v14 n1 p71-83 Mar 2002
Observed and conducted discussions with female members of an elementary-level, mixed-gender, Australian chess club to investigate why girls left and boys came to dominate the club. Results indicated that both home values and schooling transmitted and reinforced inequalities between the sexes, though in more subtle and less overt forms than in the past. (SM)
