This work traces the impact of a differentiated curriculum on girls' education in St. Louis public schools from 1870 to 1930. Its central argument is that the premise upon which a differentiated curriculum is founded, that schooling ought to differ among students in order prepare each for his or her place in the social order, actually led to academic decline. The attention given to the intersection of gender, race, and social class and its combined effect on girls' schooling, places this text in the new wave of critical historical scholarship in the field of educational research.
"Every so often a piece of historical scholarship is written that ingeniously synthesizes existing studies with rigorous archival research to produce a novel way of apprehending both the past and present. Graves's exhaustive new treatment.is one such work..A brilliantly written historical study that bears directly on the educational realities of our own time.This book, among the finest published in the field during the past ten years, is strongly recommended." -- Choice
