Beskrivning

This book is the only available compilation of women in education and psychology whose work has been marginalized, forgotten, or attributed to their male colleagues. This resource includes women from the progressive era (1900-1950), the psychological period (1950-2000), and the political period (2000-2010). Caucasian and African American scholars from the Northeast, Southern, and Midwestern states are highlighted. Some of the chapters are shorter than others due to the limited literature concerning some of the women. In addition, chapters describing the elimination of gender inequity in early childhood education, the marginalization of women in education under No Child Left Behind as well as discrimination of women in higher education are included. The book concludes with the need to rethink teacher education to include the exceptional contributions of the women who are showcased in this book. Finally, this source is an attempt to eliminate gender inequity in teacher education and educational psychology by restoring the contributions of feminine scholars.

Recensioner i media

Stealing from the Mother: The Marginalization of Women in Education and Psychology from 1900-2010 is an insightful book that sheds light on the injustices and discrimination women have experienced, and continue to experience, in the fields of education and psychology. In this exceptional book, distinguished scholars Jerry Aldridge and Lois McFayden Christensen provide us with a historical perspective on the marginalization of women within the education system, while also offering meaningful ways in which to re-introduce and include women and their contributions in this arena. This book is unique in that it not only examines this history in terms of the progressive, psychological, and political periods of education, but it also acknowledges and addresses the influence of location and geography on the minimization of women and their ideas. Stealing from the Mother is not only an essential book for those interested in the historical foundations of education and psychology; I highly recommend this book for both students and professionals, as well as for all individuals with an interest in raising awareness of the ongoing discrimination against women, and eliminating injustice and inequality in all of its forms.
