The Educated Woman: Minds, Bodies, and Women's Higher Education in Britain, Germany, and Spain, 1865-1914 de Katharina Rowold

The Educated Woman: Minds, Bodies, and Women's Higher Education in Britain, Germany, and Spain, 1865-1914: Routledge Research in Gender and History

Autor Katharina Rowold
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2014
The Educated Woman is a comparative study of the ideas on female nature that informed debates on women’s higher education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in three western European countries. Exploring the multi-layered roles of science and medicine in constructions of sexual difference in these debates, the book also pays attention to the variety of ways in which contemporary feminists negotiated and reconstituted conceptions of the female mind and its relationship to the body. While recognising similarities, Rowold shows how in each country the higher education debates and the underlying conceptions of women’s nature were shaped by distinct historical contexts.

Recenzii

'...this book is an impressive piece of work. By examining scientific and medical theories about women’s higher education, Katharina Rowold illuminates two key themes. In the first place, she shows how social Darwinist and eugenic thought was shaped and reshaped by different national contexts – and how this process helped to frame debates about the admission of women to university. Second, she explores how both those in favour and those against the higher education of women drew on the rhetoric of science to articulate their arguments.' - William Whyte, University of Oxford, UK
'The Educated Woman is a valuable and thoroughly researched study that illuminates the interaction of numerous different strands – the scientific, the medical, the religious, the political – within specific national contexts and particular historical moments on this important topic.' - Lesley A. Hall, Wellcome Library, UK

"The Educated Woman is a significant comparative study that challenges us to re-examine the part played by both feminists and anti-feminists in the struggle for women’s access to higher education. It is an important new source for both undergraduate and graduate courses."- Sandra L. Singer, Professor of German, Alfred University, US

'Katharina Rowold has made a strong contribution to comparative higher education history with her analysis of how ideas about women’s mental and physical capacities developed across time in three European countries.' - Linda Eisenmann, Wheaton College, USA
'Throughout her highly informative and well-researched study, Rowold highlights areas of similarity and difference in the debates about women's admittance to higher education both within the countries themselves and between them and engages at key points with the relevant historiography.' - Helen L. Boak, Women's History Review
'Rowold's monograph deserves a wide readership and will be especially invaluable for anyone interested in women's history in Germany and Spain.' -  Helen L. Boak, Women's History Review
