| Description: | First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues: journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women's and gender study faculty, students, and parents. |
