328 sider. Pocketbook. ### Jane Miller’s School For Women is an in depth exploration of the role of women in education, in which a broad historical context is comfortably combined with the author’s personal perspective. It investigates the development of the female teacher from the archetypal ‘Jane Eyre’ governess to the 1970s feminist, fighting for the right to wear trousers to work, and of course the modern professional woman, struggling within a declining educational system. Miller’s book raises many interesting and provocative points, such as the cultural paradox that women, whilst being regarded as intellectually inferior to men, have traditionally been entrusted with the education of children, and the way in which female teachers are by turns demonised and canonised by society and the media. Particularly thought provoking is Miller’s discussion of the stereotypes that hamper women teachers. The ineffectual, incompetent female and the somehow masculine ‘battleaxe’ are the most common depictions although they are joined by others, such as the ‘femme-fatale’ teacher, corrupter of innocent schoolboys. The implication of these prevalent images is clear: women cannot, in the eyes of society, be both good teachers and ‘acceptable’ representatives of their gender..### (The Richmond Review Pænt eksemplar.
