• Preface 1. Identity 2. The Construction of Women as Artists 3. Women, Subject Choice and Employment 4. Women and Art Education Epilogue

"This book brought together through rigorous scholarly activity a wide range of previous work on gender identity, art, education, subject choice and employment. ... Hopper has written a book that has provided a good synopsis of the many debates which impact on the art education of women. It would provide solid background reading for those studying feminist art education and those wishing to teach art in schools or on teacher training programmes."
