New Books in Education ·

2026/10/01

How Girls Achieve points out a simple and overlooked truth: most schools never had girls in mind to begin with.

Yet millions of

In the two decades between the First and Second World Wars, Jewish parents in Poland faced a proliferation of choices when it came to educating their children. Each choice offered a vision of what future Polish Jews desired, what they expected, and the gap between the two. State schools taught in Polish (sometimes with a schedule to accommodate traditional religious observance), secularist Yiddish schools with strong ties to Jewish socialism and the labor movement, Hebraist schools promoting

This is at least in part due to a methodological commitment not to address internal states of the arguers, such as intentions and beliefs, which
