Library Journal
This study offers an analysis of 33 anonymous female teachers who responded to a survey created by Casey (education, Univ. of North Carolina). The women are divided into three groups, and each group is explained in a separate chapter. ``Existential'' religious Catholics, ``pragmatic'' Jewish women, and ``signifying'' African Americans tell much, but very little is reported about the actual contributions these women are making to social change. The exceptions are reports from one teacher who helped homeless citizens in the quest for social security and from another who founded an alternative high school that later received regular accreditation. Recommended for academic collections in education, psychology, and sociology. (Index not seen.)-- Ina M. Wise, Daley Community Coll. Lib., ChicagoBook Details
