Women, Gender and Education in 19th Century Canada.
This paper discusses how ideas of gender affected women in 19th century Canada just as they do today. And it affected them then, and affects them today, in a negative way. Because of the social construction of gender meanings, women encounter unfair educations experiences that are meant to gear them toward subordinate work. The real interest of women, unfortunately, is what society says it should be. A combination of direct and subtle pressure maximizes the likelihood that women will be marginalized in society, and confined to the home. It is only through education that women can break this patriarchal attempt at social control. 7 pgs. 14 f/c. 7b.
