本章考察了来自英国各地前煤田社区的100名妇女的教育经历，使用了在ahrc资助的项目中进行的生活史访谈：1984-1985年矿工罢工中的妇女：战后英国工人阶级社区性别关系变化的图表。参与者（出生于1934年至1974年之间）的证词包含了学校教育的消极和积极记忆，讲述了不同的故事。然而，某些模式是可以辨别出来的。几乎所有人都早早离开了学校，往往没有资格证书，尽管有些人作为成熟的学生回到了学校。大多数人几乎没有意识到她们被期望做的不仅仅是妻子和母亲，对许多人来说，学校努力再现阶级地位和性别角色。本章认为，妇女过去的教育经历往往是深刻的社会保守力量，但与此同时，至少为一些参与者提供了能够赋予自己权力的工具。这就解释了我们的受访者回忆起学校教育时的矛盾心理。
This chapter examines the educational experiences of 100 women from ex-coalfield communities across Britain, using life-history interviews undertaken during the AHRC-funded projectWomen in the miners’ strike 1984–1985: Charting changing gender relations in working-class communities in post-war Britain. Participants (born between 1934 and 1974) testimonies encompassed both negative and positive memories of schooling, with diverse stories being told. Certain patterns that could, however, be discerned. Almost all left school at the earliest possible moment, often without qualifications, though some returned to education as mature students. Most had little sense that they were expected to be anything more than wives and mothers, and for many, school worked to reproduce both class position and gender roles. This chapter argues that the women’s past experiences of education were often deeply socially conservative force but, at the same time, provided at least some participants with the tools through which they could empower themselves. This accounts for the ambivalence with which schooling was recalled by our interviewees.
