EQUALITY UNDER SUSPICION - The transforming power of education - The book describes equality based on the idea that no woman should be less equal in opportunity or in human rights than any man. Even with the granting of equality to women in public life, women’s domestic labour will always be unequal to that of men. The hidden patriarchal agenda of public institutions can subvert the apparent equality of legal rights. Education is one of the most powerful ways in which gender and social relations of production are reproduced. The combined influence of gender and class construction in schools on both boys and girls is a central concern of feminist theory which aims to show how schools reproduce female subordination.
