"A fascinating history of rural women teachers in California. Her major achievement is to successfully integrate genres that are too often separated: critical and feminist theory, life histories, the political economy of schooling, quantitative demography, and institutional history."--David Tyack, Stanford UniversityCountry Schoolwomen is feminist scholarship at its best..."--Pacific Historical Review
Focusing on the lives and work of women teachers in two rural California counties from 1850 to 1950, Country Schoolwomen explores the social context of teaching, seeking to understand what teaching meant to women teachers, what it provided them, and how it shaped their categories of experience.
