Whose Knowledge? Gender, Education, Science and History
Watts, Ruth
History of Education, v36 n3 p283-302 May 2007
What forms of knowledge are deemed worth possessing in any period and who is allowed access to them are crucial questions for the historian of education. Science, now a core subject of study, has long been seen as "masculine", especially at its highest levels, although the historical reasons for this have been somewhat neglected in education. This paper compares and analyses the interrelationships of education, gender and science at both the end of the long eighteenth century and in the early twentieth century in order to explore issues of knowledge and gender and demonstrate the use of a historical perspective. (Contains 1 figure and 88 footnotes.)
