Schoolmarms of Utah: "Separate and Unequal." Country School Legacy: Humanities on the Frontier.
Embry, Jessie L.
This part of the Country School Legacy: Humanities on the Frontier Project, funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and sponsored by the Mountain Plains Library Association, traces the biases faced by female school teachers in Utah from the nineteenth century to the present. First, there is a description of the early unequal treatment women teachers received in the form of lower salaries, in not being accepted as equal to men in teaching ability, and in prejudicial treatment concerning their employment. The document then highlights the improvements and advances in the status of women teachers from the 1920s to the present. (CM)
