- International Feminist Perspectives on Educational Reform: The Work of Gail Paradise Kelly. Garland Reference Library of Social Science. Volume 1030. Kelly, David H., Ed. Civil Rights Comparative Education Developing Nations Educational Change Equal Education Females Feminism Higher Education Sex Sex Discrimination Womens Studies This volume presents articles by Gail Paradise Kelly spanning nearly 20 years of her professional career. Kelly, a leading scholar in the field of gender in education, was Professor of Education and Chairperson of the Department of Education, Organization, and Policy at State University of New York, Buffalo when she died in January of 1991. This collection of her writings provides a historical overview of her pioneering strategy to make gender issues prominent among educators. Presenting two original and 12 reprinted essays, the volume begins with Kelly's efforts as a student radical in the 1970s to establish feminist agendas and concludes with her harsh critiques of the current national reform movement and a proposal for a study that takes into account women's life experiences to create change in U.S. inner city schools. In the years between, Kelly's essays demonstrate how viewing women's education like men's blinds the scholar to the real issue of educating both genders. Kelly questions new conservative theories that reject feminist concepts. Chapters include: (1) "Feminist Agendas: An Introduction" (by David Kelly); (2) "Women's Liberation and the New Left"; (3) "Adult Education of Vietnamese Refugees: Commentary on Pluralism in America"; (4) "Research on the Education of Women in the Third World: Problems and Perspectives"; (5) "Schooling and the Reproduction of Patriarchy: Unequal Workloads, Unequal Rewards" (with Ann S.
