{"product_id":"9781912906826","title":"The Lost Girls: Why a feminist revolution in education benefits everyone","description":"\u003cp\u003eLife for girls is a battle of contrasting expectations, being told you should be 'empowered' but also be a 'good girl', putting others first but still striving for perfection yourself.  This conflict, internalizing expectations of an impossible standard, has lead to an explosion in mental-health and anxiety-related disorders in young women. The traditional narrative of education feeds the perception that girls are good. They achieve, work hard, are co-operative. They achieve better grades. But where do these high achievers disappear to? They aren't becoming CEOs, politicians or social leaders. Women are still disproportionately the family carers and domestic managers. This book explores:  *\tresearch around biological difference, and how our schools encode gendered expectations.  *\thow our curricula can provide role-models as well as modes of thinking, valuing traditionally feminine traits as equal to masculine *\tusing psychological approaches to develop girls' independence.  *\thow school systems and leadership can model approaches to encourage all students to create a gender-balanced environment.   With practical questions and suggestions at the end of each chapter, this book is a guide to the research and a tool to help teachers and leaders shape a genuinely empowering school experience for young women.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHN CATT EDUCATIONAL LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185590665490,"sku":"9781912906826","price":29.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781912906826.jpg?v=1774737203","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781912906826","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
