'Educating the Other is that rare prize - a readable and engaging book on an educational topic!' - Cambridge Journal of Education
'One of the strengths of the book is the use of recent research on the curriculum, especially the place of physical education and design and technology in secondary school. These subjects, far too often neglected, serve to raise questions about what knowledge schools offer, and how status, power, and gender are intricately bound up in the secondary curriculum in England. This should rapidly become the book for courses on gender and education.' - British Educational Research Journal
