Are Older Woman Teachers Different?

Grambs, Jean Dresden

Journal of Education, v169 n1 p47-64 1987

Low status is associated with being older, being female, and being a teacher. Both professional scholarship and popular opinion hold negative views on the "feminization" of education in general and on older female teachers in particular. Schools need to be more aware of these sources of stress for midlife and older female teachers. (BJV)
