Women and Education, 1800-1980

Using a biographical approach, Jane Martin and Joyce Goodman explore and celebrate the aims, visions and actions of six little-recognized British women educational activists within nineteenth- and twentieth-century history: Sarah Austin, Jane Chessar, Margaret Cole, Mary Dendy, Elizabeth Hamilton and Shena Simon. As individuals, these women were very different personalities; as a group, they show how organized women made a contribution to changing philosophy, policy and practice in the field of education.

Women and Education, 1800-1980 examines and celebrates the lives, aims, and achievements of six British women educational activists within nineteenth- and twentieth-century history: Elizabeth Hamilton, Sarah Austin, Jane Chessar, Mary Dendy, Shena Simon and Margaret Cole. Employing a biographical approach, Jane Martin and Joyce Goodman adopt existing feminist and historical models to explore how these women resisted gender roles and combined their public lives with private commitments. As individuals, these women were very different personalities: as a group they show how organised women made a substantial contribution to public life and changed philosophy, policy and practice. Women and Education is situated within the tradition of feminist engagements with recovering and reclaiming 'forgotten' female figures in history. By bringing the lives and actions of these female reformers to the forefront, Martin and Goodman not only offer fresh perspectives on the relation between theory and practice in education, but also give a critical new insight into the accomplishments of women in the past.

Goodman, Joyce

Red Globe Press

A radical critique both of the British government's agenda for education reform and of various proposed alternatives to it, focusing on the need of secondary schools to motivate disadvantaged students to learn and instill in them a sense of purpose and optimism for the future. Describes the social trends now impacting schools, the low educational expectations and disaffection of many young people, strategies for motivating students to take responsibility for their won education, and collaborating with parents. Of interest to teachers, school administrators, and education scholars. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Scenery: Bare stage
The author of Talking With and other hits has never been funnier or more compelling than in this suite of theatrical miniatures over thirty two minute monologues. The two men in the cast are optional foils for the six compelling women who perform a collage about contemporary woman in all her warmth and majesty, her fear and frustration, her joy and sadness. Vital Signs wowed audiences at the Humana Festival at Actors Theatre of Louisville, where it was directed of Jon Jory whose notes are published with the play. 
"Vital and original." N.Y. Times. 
"Offers wonderful opportunities for actresses to show off their versatility." Washington Times. 
"Martin's eye and ear for the texture of everyday life in this culture is as playfully accurate as Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner's. She's a fine quipster; but she manages, too, to open little windows of sadness into women's souls." Detroit News.

 Bare Stage.
 These extraordinary monologues received a standing ovation at Louisville's Actors Theatre. Idiosyncratic characters amuse, move and frighten, always speaking from the depths of their souls. They include a baton twirler, a fundamentalist snake handler, an ex rodeo rider and an actress willing to go to any length to get a job. 
1982 winner of the American Theatre Critics Association Award for Best Regional Play. 
"A dramatist with an original voice ... [and] gladsome humor." N.Y. Times 
 "With Jane Martin, the monologue has taken on a new poetic form, intensive in its method and revelatory in its impact." Philadelphia Inquirer

Bare stage with chairs
Written to be performed by five actresses, this sequel to Jane Martin's last monologue play picks up where VITAL SIGNS left off - in these funnier, stranger days of the 21st century. Reveling in virtues of brevity that include hilarity, surprise and homespun philosophy, these monologues roam the range of contemporary perspective on everything from sexual harassment to sleeping in theaters to the erotic appeals of silence. Whether biking across Massachusetts with 23,000 lawyers or reflecting on the meaning of a Pekinese dog with a picket fence stake through its heart, these characters know how to take the stage and make the most of their five minutes of fame.
