Corr (sociology, U. of Strathclyde, Scotland) explores how gender differences and inequalities in the teaching profession and educational institutions became embedded in British capitalist society as a social norm. Male and female teachers provide powerful role models for children, she explains, and the predominance of women teachers in infant and junior sectors of primary school, and of men in senior positions and teaching older pupils establishes a stereotype of women as naturally suited to caring work and of men as naturally authoritative. She finds British education during the period an excellent case in which to illuminate the interplay between emergent forms of industrial capitalism and traditional patriarchal authority of men over women.
