Discussing Discrimination: Children's Construction of Sexism between Pupils in Primary School.

Francis, Becky

British Journal of Sociology of Education, v18 n4 p519-32 Dec 1997

Investigates whether primary school children construct gender as a source of discrimination in their school lives. Reports their descriptions of sexism in school as well as their strategies to cope with or resist it. Suggests that girls may be prevented from assertive resistance due to their constructions of passive femininity. (DSK)
