Zusatztext "I would place this book at the top of the spectrum of thinking in its field....It will contribute significantly to the field of vocational education and gender equity." — Mutindi Ndunda College of Charleston "The topic is certainly of long-standing concern to a segment of those involved in vocational and technical education both in the U.S. and abroad. This book definitely adopts a social justice perspective but is in line with the approach taken by scholars from this tradition....It is unique in its approach and content....and will fill a current gap in the literature about gender equity and workforce education and development." — Jay W.
