Summary By the end of the twentieth century, formal schooling in many countries--once largely the privilege of elite males--had become more accessible to women, members of the working class, and some minority ethnic groups. The essays in this edited volume explore the historical origins of this transformation in different social and political contexts, analyzing struggles over schooling in Australia, Canada, China, Columbia, India, the United States, and South Africa
