The Science Education of American Girls


Book Description

The Science Education of American Girls provides a comparative analysis of the science education of adolescent boys and girls, and analyzes the evolution of girls' scientific interests from the antebellum era through the twentieth century. Kim Tolley expands the understanding of the structural and cultural obstacles that emerged to transform what, in the early nineteenth century, was regarded as a "girl's subject." As the form and content of pre-college science education developed, Tolley argues, direct competition between the sexes increased. Subsequently, the cultural construction of science as a male subject limited access and opportunity for girls.




A Guide to Sources of Educational Information


Book Description

Abstract: An annotated listing of educational information sources is presented for educational professionals and policy makers. Sources include: printed and computer-access tools; private organizations and government agencies that provide direct assistance or referral services; commercial bibliographic services; and state library services. Some services that access foreign or international data are included. Following a brief discussion of background principles, the material is presented under 3 major categories: printed research tools (e.g., dictionaries, directories, bibliographies, abstracting and indexing services, statistical sources); special subjects (special education, instructional materials guides, printed sources on finance and government); and nonprint sources (e.g, computerized retrieval sources; educational, and financial information nonprint sources; institutional instruction materials information sources; and state library services for educators). A brief final section identifies writing guides and style manuals for administrators, researchers, teachers, and dissemination specialists. (wz).

A Dream


Book Description

The translation of Felicja Kruszewska's A Dream introduces a major play by a twentieth-century female playwright to the English-speaking world. On March 7, 1927 A Dream - a large-scale expressionistic drama by an unknown poet - burst on the Polish theatrical scene in a dazzling debut production by the young actor Edmund Wiercinski, who would become one of the outstanding directors of his time. The play's hallucinatory visions of the rise of fascism and the heroine's longing for a providential savior on a white horse spoke directly to Polish audiences about their deepest anxieties. During the next two years A Dream received three additional stagings and became the subject of lively debate and controversy. The play, which has been successfully revived in 1974, is an outstanding example of European expressionism. The volume also contains An Excursion to the Museum, by the contemporary Polish poet, playwright, and short-story writer Tadeusz Rozewicz. A disturbing account of an utterly mundane visit to Auschwitz, the tale is a brilliant example of the playwright's technique of poetic collage.
