An Extraordinary Century for Women
Gerlach, Jeanne Marcum
English Journal, v101 n1 p69-75 Sep 2011
"Missing Chapters: Ten Pioneering Women in NCTE and English Education" is the first historical text to explore the impact women have had on English education. It is true that women have been a vital part of National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) since the Council's founding in 1911 when 13 of the 34 founding members were women. As part of a graduate course, the author became interested in women in English teaching and in NCTE, and it led to a lifetime of research, scholarship, and service. In this article, the author discusses the women in NCTE (based on the women in "Missing Chapters") and how important their work was in providing readers with yet another way of looking at the history of English education.
