商品簡介
Trotman, retired as a professor of sociology, policy studies, and gender studies at Edith Cowan U., Perth, Australia, discusses the subjective experiences of becoming and being a female teacher through a study of 24 women teachers who trained at Claremont Teachers' College, Western Australia, in the early twentieth century and who later taught at state schools there. She considers the process of becoming a woman teacher and the narrative details of their lives from childhood to schooling to monitoring and college attendance, and how they were surrounded by competing gender discourses. These discourses, Trotman argues, allowed them to create a sense of self outside of domesticity and marital status that extended to expertise and professionalism. The book is based on her thesis.
