Summary:"Gillian Plummer's research shows how women from working-class backgrounds still so seldom achieve higher level academic qualifications and the life-style to which they lead." "Analysing her own experience and that of others of similar background, she shows how their mothers and fathers held low expectations of education and what it might offer their daughters, so did little to support their education. The book exposes the repeating pattern of early marriage with an unskilled and often exploited partner. And it turns a spotlight on teachers and reveals how, instead of encouraging these 'misfits' to succeed, they themselves discriminated against the bright working-class girls who managed to gain entry to privileged schools or grammar streams." "For academics in gender studies, education, sociology and for teacher trainers and education policy makers."--Jacket.
