How to think like a woman : four women philosophers who taught me how to love the life of the mind / by Penaluna, Regan,author.(CARDINAL)860447;
"An exhilarating account of the lives and works of influential seventeenth- and eighteenth-century feminist philosophers Mary Astell, Damaris Masham, Catharine Cockburn, and Mary Wollstonecraft, and a searing look at the author's experience of patriarchy and sexism in academia. Growing up in small-town Iowa, Regan Penaluna daydreamed about the big questions. In college she fell in love with philosophy and chose to pursue it as an academician, the first step, she believed, to living a life of the mind. What Penaluna didn't realize was that the Western philosophical canon taught in American universities, as well as the culture surrounding it, would grind her down through its misogyny, its harassment, and its devaluation of women and their intellect. Where were the women philosophers? One day, in an obscure monograph, Penaluna came across Damaris Cudworth Masham's name. A contemporary of John Locke, Masham wrote about knowledge, God, and the condition of women. Masham's work led Penaluna to other remarkable women philosophers of the era: Mary Astell, who moved to London at twenty-one and made a living writing philosophy; Catharine Cockburn, a philosopher, novelist, and playwright; and the better-known Mary Wollstonecraft, who wrote extensively in defense of women's minds. Together, these women rekindled Penaluna's love of philosophy and awakened her feminist consciousness. In How to Think Like a Woman, Penaluna blends memoir, biography, and criticism to tell these women's stories, weaving throughout an alternative history of philosophy as well as her own search for love and truth. Funny, honest, and wickedly intelligent, this is a moving meditation on what philosophy could look like if women were treated equally"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-296).

Failing at fairness : how America's schools cheat girls / by Sadker, Myra Pollack.(CARDINAL)145895; Sadker, David Miller,1942-(CARDINAL)145870;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-336) and index.Hidden lessons -- Through the back door: the history of women's education -- Missing in interaction -- The self-esteem slide -- High school: in search of herself -- Test dive -- Higher education: colder by degrees -- The miseducation of boys -- Different voices, different schools -- The edge of change.Failing at Fairness is a powerful indictment of sexism in America's classrooms. The findings from twenty years of research by two of America's most distinguished social scientists show that gender bias in our schools makes it impossible for girls to receive an education equal to boys'. Girls are systematically denied opportunities in areas where boys are encouraged to excel, often by well-meaning teachers who are unaware that they are transmitting sexist values. Girls are taught to speak quietly, to defer to boys, to avoid math and science, and to value neatness over innovation, appearance over intelligence. In the early grades girls, brimming with intelligence and potential, routinely outperform boys on achievement tests, but by the time they graduate from high school they lag far behind boys - a process of degeneration that continues into adulthood. By the time girls enter the working world, the damage has been done. Our daughters, tomorrow's women, learn that to be female is to be passive and deferential: We have, effectively, made girls second-class citizens in a world whose survival will depend on their contributions. The implications are devastating: If the cure for cancer is incubating in the mind of one of our daughters, we may never find it. Professors Myra and David Sadker have produced a comprehensive, compelling, and essential resource.

Educational equity / by Eboch, M. M.Editor(DLC)n 2008053092;
Includes bibliographical references and index.How does educational equity impact society? -- How does gender impact educational opportunities? -- How does racial discrimination lead to inequities in education? -- How does socioeconomic status lead to differences in learning? -- How can educational equity be achieved? -- For further discussion -- Organizations to contact.If children are the future, the importance of educating them cannot be overvalued. Why, then, is access to quality education in the US consistently under debate? The US is known as the Land of Opportunity, but the truth is that many children are unable to meet their potential simply because of educational inequities. The viewpoints in this resource examine the difference between equality and equitability; issues such as funding disparities, impacts of gender, race, and socioeconomic status, and lack of resources; and what can be done to ensure that every student has a chance to succeed, regardless of their background.
