Tanya Fitzgerald & Elizabeth M. Smyth 
Women Educators, Leaders and Activists 
Educational Lives and Networks 1900-1960

This collection traces women educators’ professional lives and the extent to which they challenged the gendered terrain they occupied. The emphasis is placed on women’s historical public voices and their own interpretation of their ’selves’ and ’lives’ in their struggle to exercise authority in education.
