THE MISEDUCATION OF WOMEN
By James Tooley
Continuum Publishing. 258 pages. £16.99
ISBN 0 8264 5094 6

Feminists have a lot to answer for. That is what James Tooley says in his meaty and thought-provoking book, 'The Miseducation of Women'.

James Tooley is Professor of Education Policy at the University of Newcastle. He writes, not from any Christian perspective, but from a solid basis of research and experience, motivated by a deep sadness and a chivalrous, manly (steady, now!) desire to protect women from a cruel injustice. That is one reason why I wholeheartedly recommend this important book to anyone interested or concerned about the muddle secularist post-modern society has made of gender.
