Gender, Class and Equal Opportunity Policies: A Grass-roots Case Study from the Trade Union Movement
This paper reports a case study of failure to implement equal opportunity policies at the grass roots of a large UK trade union, recently formed by national merger and over 70% female.

Women teachers: Career identity and perceptions of family constraints ‐‐ changes over a recent decade
This paper seeks to examine recent changes in women schoolteachers’ professional ambitions, and a corresponding growth in their awareness of the constraints upon them of family‐based domestic responsibilities.

Implementing a Whole School Equal Opportunities Policy: A primary school in Humberside
This paper describes both the successes and problems in implementing a school equal opportunities policy in an inner city primary school. After observing their own and one another's practice and being observed by the researcher, teachers were asked to devise projects which would bring about greater equality in opportunity for girls and boys. Wherever possible projects were integrated into chosen topic work. Projects covered a variety of areas fro…
Woman's place is in the home’: A major cultural theme in girls' learning and women's teaching
Sexist practices within schools must be understood in context of the sexism which pervades the culture and structure of our society, rather than as a feature of the education system itself. Sexist practices include explicit references, within formal teaching and corporate school activities, to the theme of women's essential domesticity. Teachers become agents of sexism because, despite support for equality of opportunity, they share with pupils a…
