Three Missions of Higher Education for Women: Vocation, Freedom, Knowledge.

Howe, Florence

Liberal Education, v66 n3 p285-97 Fall 1980

Idealism about women's education and access to higher education are seen as not enough to guarantee women political or vocational freedom. The traditional liberal arts curriculum is described as a male-centered curriculum and the need to reexamine basic assumptions of knowledge in the disciplines is discussed. (Author/MLW)
