From the Dust Jacket: "In autobiographical writings -- essays, fiction, letters, and reminiscences -- women tell of their teaching experiences in the years 1830 - 1920. The book explores the development of teaching from a job for men to a profession for women; the teaching movement of the 1860s that sent some seven thousand teachers South to teach newly freed slaves; and the experience of teaching immigrant children in newly centralized bureaucracies of turn-of-the-century cities. The glories and frustrations of woman's 'true' profession are presented with candor, tenderness and wit.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine DJ (a touch of rubbing). 8vo. xxiii, 327pp..

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well.
