In the first half of the 20th century, women accounted for three-quarters of the elementary school teachers in England and Wales. (It would be interesting to know the current percentage.) Based primarily on archival sources, interviews, and questionnaire responses, this analysis helps redress the patriarchal bias of major studies of British teacher training by rescuing from obscurity the residential colleges which trained these women. The author discusses their middle-class culture, the roles of woman principal and staff, and changing sexual mores which contributed to the colleges' demise. Illustrations feature heads of these institutions (namely, Avery Hill, Bishop Otter, and Homerton Colleges). The author's affiliation is unspecified. Annotation c.
