This book includes four cases dealing with related aspects of gender and teaching, along with a range of preservice and practicing teachers' and administrators' reactions to each case. It presents four public arguments pertaining to the issues raised in the cases.

"For those looking for an overview of important gender issues in education, this would be a useful book. Through a series of cases studies and public arguments, the authors cover a wide range of territory and also draw on historical and sociological frameworks. Though primarily focusing on K-12 experiences, higher education professionals may recognize many of the issues as their own."
