What is Women and Education in Latin America: Knowledge, Power, and Change (Women and Change in the Developing World) about?
Despite their extremely high rate of participation in the education system, women in Latin America evince higher levels of illiteracy than men, experience differential treatment within the system, and concentrate in only a few academic fields. This book explores the role of education - broadly defined - in reproducing inequality and sexual division of labour and finds the causes of women's inferior situation to be both ideological and material.
