Summary

In 'The Learned Lady in England, 1650-1760,' Myra Reynolds embarks on a meticulous exploration of the roles and representations of educated women in early modern England. Through a rich tapestry of historical narratives and literary analysis, Reynolds intricately examines the cultural and social dynamics that shaped women's intellectual pursuits during this period. Using a blend of historical texts, personal letters, and literary works, she illuminates the challenges and triumphs of learned women, placing her subjects in the broader context of Enlightenment discourse and the burgeoning feminist movement. This work stands as a significant contribution to gender studies and cultural history, poised at the intersection of literature and social progression. Myra Reynolds, a pioneering scholar in women's studies, draws on her extensive background in English literature to craft this illuminating volume. Her scholarship is deeply influenced by her conviction in the importance of women's voices in historical narratives. As both an educator and researcher, Reynolds has dedicated her career to uncovering overlooked figures in English literature and their contributions, informed by a scholarly lineage that champions equity in literary critique. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of women's education, gender dynamics, and literary expression in early modern England. Reynolds' thorough analysis and engaging prose make it an essential read, fostering a greater understanding of the complex interplay between gender and knowledge in an evolving society.

    "Sweetie, I'm home." I tried to put as much kindness into my voice as possible. I didn't want to have another argument - at least not right away. 
    Silence. 
    "Sweetheart?" 
    A gunshot echoed from our bedroom, followed by the sound of a bullet casing skipping along a wall. 
    Everything slowed down. 
    *** 
    When a life is destroyed, when guilt says you played a role in its destruction, how do you face the days ahead? Twenty-six-year-old Abel Keogh chooses to ignore the promptings he receives concerning his wife's mental illness, and now he feels he is to blame for her choices. If only he had listened . . . 
    At some point in our lives, each of us face devastating afflictions and must eventually cope with loss. Regardless of how it happens, the outcome is still the same - we are left isolated, alone, wondering what we could have done differently, and where we can turn for peace. This is Abel's story of love and loss in his own words. His search for peace and the miracle that follows is proof that love and hope can endure, despite the struggles and tragedies that shape each of our lives.

  • How Schools Really Matter - Why Our Assumption about Schools and Inequality Is Mostly Wrong - cover

    How Schools Really Matter - Why...

    Douglas B. Downey

    Most of us assume that public schools in America are unequal—that the quality of the education varies with the location of the school and that as a result, children learn more in the schools that serve mostly rich, white kids than in the schools serving mostly poor, black kids. But it turns out that this common assumption is misplaced. As Douglas B. Downey shows in How Schools Really Matter, achievement gaps have very little to do with what goes on in our schools. Not only do schools not exacerbate inequality in skills, they actually help to level the playing field. The real sources of achievement gaps are elsewhere.
    
    A close look at the testing data in seasonal patterns bears this out. It turns out that achievement gaps in reading skills between high- and low-income children are nearly entirely formed prior to kindergarten, and schools do more to reduce them than increase them. And when gaps do increase, they tend to do so during summers, not during school periods. So why do both liberal and conservative politicians strongly advocate for school reform, arguing that the poor quality of schools serving disadvantaged children is an important contributor to inequality? 
    It’s because discussing the broader social and economic reforms necessary for really reducing inequality has become too challenging and polarizing—it’s just easier to talk about fixing schools.
    
    How Schools Really Matter offers a firm rebuke to those who find nothing but fault in our schools, which are doing a much better than job than we give them credit for. It should also be a call to arms for educators and policymakers: the bottom line is that if we are serious about reducing inequality, we are going to have to fight some battles that are bigger than school reform—battles against the social inequality that is reflected within, rather than generated by—our public school system.
