The girls' march to school: a comparative historical analysis of gender equalization in education in Argentina and Japan, ca. 1880-1970
Summary
Employing the Comparative Method, this thesis analyses the different factors that caused a process of gender equalization in primary and secondary education in Argentina and Japan between ca. 1880 and 1970. Especially for primary education, gender equality was remarkably high at a very early stage of the implementation of mass education in both nations. Not economic or cultural factors, but political factors eventually caused gender equality in education in both nations.
