Power and Privilege in White Middle-Class Feminist Discussions of Gender and Education by Christine E. Sleeter - 1993In education as well as other social institutions, concerns of women

that representation. Half of racial minority group members and low-income

gender as separate issues signifying discrete groups, white economically
privileged women tend to benefit, and oppressed groups remain
fragmented, competing against each other for scarce resources. To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 92, No. 1. |
