Researchers have neglected the cultural history of education and as a result women's educational works have been disparaged as narrowly didactic and redundant to the history of ideas. This book serves as a corrective to these biases by culturally contextualising the popular educational writings of leading women moralists and activists.

Based on wide ranging research, this book sets out to revive the creative alternative to the rigid and impoverished learning experienced by too many primary school children. It traces the origins and history of the child-centred tradition; also sets out its fundamental beliefs and values; and, explores its place in education.

Examines such areas as: the texts written and read to children; the multifarious ways childhood has been considered, shaped and schooled through literacy practices; and the hitherto ignored role of women educators in early childhood across all classes.

Part of a series, written for students, academics and interested general readers alike. It tackles themes in gender history from the early medieval period to the present day. This book looks at women, education and social progress between 1790 and 1930.
