This volume investigates how gender dynamics intersect with formal and informal educational structures across diverse international contexts. Editors Joyce Goodman and Jane Martin compile a series of scholarly essays that examine the historical construction of national identities, citizenship, and authority within schools and social institutions. By analyzing specific case studies from England, Germany, Indonesia, South Africa, the Netherlands, and the United States, the contributors argue that educational systems have historically served as sites for reinforcing gendered ideals and colonial power structures.
