"The Teachers, They All Had Their Pets": Concepts of Gender, Knowledge, and Power.

Luttrell, Wendy

Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, v18 n3 p505-46 Spr 1993

Compares what 15 white women from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and 15 African-American women from rural backgrounds remember about being in school for what it tells about the relationships among gender, knowledge, and power. The distinct memories of teachers' pets illustrate the ways schools can influence self-concepts and social roles. (SLD)
