<br/><br/>Introduction: Letting girls learn --  Becoming safe --  Becoming feminist --  Becoming achievement oriented --  The limits of confidence and the problem with achievement --  Conclusion: Letting all students learn. 
<br/><br/> "This bold and necessary book points out a simple and overlooked truth: most schools never had girls in mind to begin with. That is why the world needs what Sally Nuamah calls feminist schools, deliberately designed to provide girls with achievement-oriented identities. And she shows why doing so would help all students, regardless of their gender."--Provided by publisher.
