Klappentext zu „Lillian de Lissa, Women Teachers and Teacher Education in the Twentieth Century “
Beginning with Lillian de Lissa's career as foundation principal of the Adelaide Kindergarten Training College in Australia (1907-1917) and Gipsy Hill Training College in London (1917-1947), and incorporating the lives and work of her Australian and British graduates, this book illuminates the transnational circulation of knowledge about teacher education and early childhood education in the twentieth century. Acutely aware of anxieties regarding the role of modern women and the social positioning of teachers, students who attended college under de Lissa's leadership experienced a progressive institutional culture and comprehensive preparation for work as kindergarten, nursery and infant teachers. Drawing on a broad range of archival material, this study explores graduates' professional and domestic lives, leisure activities and civic participation, from their initial work as novice teachers through diverse life paths to their senior years. Due to the interwar marriage bar, many women teachers married, resigned from paid work and became mothers. The book explores their experiences, along with those of lifelong teachers whose work spread across a range of educational fields and different parts of the world. Although most graduates spent their lives in Australia or England, de Lissa's personal and professional networks traversed the British dominions and colonies, Europe and the USA, fostering fascinating global connections between people, places and educational ideas.

Pressezitat
«[...] this is a well-researched book which goes beyond the purely educational literature to contextualise the lives of the subjects within the broader experiences of women in the twentieth century as they sought to attain independence and agency within the still powerful constraints on women to achieve them.»(Jane Read, History of Education 46/2017)
