Teachers, Gender, and Bureaucratizing School Systems in Nineteenth Century Montreal and Toronto.

Danylewycz, Marta; Prentice, Alison

History of Education Quarterly, v24 n1 p75-100 Spr 1984

Growing school systems in Montreal and Toronto (Canada) between 1861 and 1881 offered radically different opportunities to men and women. Educational administrators developed bureaucratic modes of organization chiefly with male aspirations for power and social mobility in mind. Women were hired to fill the bottom ranks or were ignored altogether. (RM)
