Explore the intersection of gender, education, and equality with "Gender Justice, Education and Equality: Creating Capabilities for Girls' and Women's Development." This insightful book, authored by Firdevs Melis Cin, reframes critical issues from a feminist and capabilities perspective. Through a multi-generational study of women as teachers, it delves into how diverse understandings of gender, equality, and education shape approaches to achieving gender parity in educational systems. The book critically employs the capabilities approach to question justice, agency, and well-being, evaluating valued functionings, capabilities, freedoms, and opportunities in women's lives in Turkey. It underscores the necessity of constructing a gender-just society. By examining women teachers' memories, the study sheds light on the creation, negotiation, and contestation of gender roles, the transition to modern social practices, and how women's emancipation was guided by women teachers as active social agents. This research offers crucial insights and evidence for planning and implementing effective education and social/gender policies.
