Notă biografică
Dr. Myra Sadker and Dr. David Sadker, professors at The American University (Washington, D.C.), have been involved in training programs to combat sexism and sexual harassment in over forty states and overseas. Their ground-breaking research has sparked a national response to sexism in schools, including the recent report from the American Association of University Women, "How Schools Shortchange Girls."
Descriere
This hard-hitting indictment of our education system, based on 20 years of research, provides shocking evidence of the gender bias that prevents girls from receiving the same education as boys. The Sadkers also show what parents, teachers, and students can do to reshape the system. Author lecture schedule.
