  Examining the gender-blindness of the educational tradition, this book tests the claim of superiority for the Scottish system, and questions the assumption that Scottish women were either passive victims or willing dupes of a peculiarly patriarchal ideal. It provides a comparative study of Scottish society during a period of tremendous upheaval.
