This timely volume calls into question the belief that all-girls schools are alike and draws necessary attention to the diversity of such schools. McCall provides an in-depth examination of two girls' schools, one public and one private, and reveals the ways in which these schools are distinct. Emerging from two years of fieldwork, detailed observations of classrooms, and interviews with students and teachers, this book brings to life the ambiguities and fissures of success in single-sex schools for girls. Drawing on feminist theory, girlhood studies and curriculum theory, Success, Single-Sex Schooling, and Postfeminist Fantasies offers an in-depth critical analysis of single-gender schooling for girls in postfeminist landscapes of "unlimited choices."
