520 1 $a"Twenty years ago, all-girl schools seemed headed for extinction, a minor footnote in the broad story of American education. Today they are experiencing a dramatic revival. In this book, Ilana DeBare interweaves the first complete history of girls' schools in America with her own personal story of cofounding an all-girl school in Oakland, California, in 1999. A rich chronicle of daily life at girls' schools over the past two hundred years, Where Girls Come First also illuminates the strong convictions of parents and educators that have fueled the rise of new all-girl schools throughout the country. It is an important contribution to the current debate over single-sex education in America." "DeBare brings to life the pioneering founders of girls' schools - from Emma Willard, who faced ridicule for daring to teach geometry to girls, to Prudence Crandall, who was jailed for opening a school for African-American girls in the 1830s. With vivid portraits of these brave women, as well as profiles of schools today, this book dismantles many of the lingering myths and misunderstandings about the girls' school experience." "Where Girls Come First is vital reading for anyone committed to helping the girls of today develop into the strong women of tomorrow."--BOOK JACKET.
