The Equal Classroom: Life-Changing Thinking About Gender

Edited by Lucy Rycroft-Smith and Graham Andre (Routledge, £16.99)

How much thinking have you done about gender? How unbiased, safe and inclusive are our teachers, our schools and our systems, and what can we do about it? This is a challenging book which, while geared to a school audience, covers many relevant aspects of the issue such as identities, expectations, media and toys. Humour and anecdotes are mixed with insights into biological and cultural perspectives and societal norms.
