Carol Dyhouse

Students: A Gendered History (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the privileged youth depicted in Evelyn Waugh's novel, "Brideshead
Revisited, " to the scruffy denizens of "Scumbag University" in the
1980s cult television comedy series, "The Young Ones," representations
of the university undergraduate have been decidedly male. But from
the 1970s the proportion of women students in universities in the UK
rose sharply and has continued to rise so that female undergraduates
now outnumber their male counterparts.
In this compelling and stimulating book, Carol Dyhouse explores the
gendered social history of students in modern Britain, focussing on
access, ambitions and the troubled politics of co-education in
institutions formerly dominated by single sex colleges and segregated
opportunities for men and women.
