Description

School-smart and Mother-wise examines how American education has historically disadvantaged working-class women, both during childhood and adulthood. Through the voices of working-class women across racial, geographic, and regional lines, author Wendy Luttrell presents intimate accounts of educational setbacks and the circumstances that prompted school dropout. The book reveals why these women now pursue adult education programmes, driven by desires for respect, recognition, and public identity beyond a simple diploma. Luttrell's sensitive analysis unpacks the political and psychological dynamics that shape working-class women's relationships with schooling, offering profound insights into the intersection of gender, class, and educational experience in America.

Key Features

Luttrell's research draws on personal life stories and narratives from working-class women across black, white, rural, urban, southern, and northern communities.

The book addresses how American education creates specific disadvantages for working-class women during both their childhood years and adult lives.

Adult education programmes and the motivations behind women seeking more than diplomas-including respect and public recognition-are central themes throughout.

Published by Routledge as part of the Perspectives on Gender series, offering scholarly analysis of gender, class, and educational politics.
