Voiceless Teachers: Whence They Come, And What They Teach is a book written by Katherine Keene and published in 1885. The book explores the role of women in education during the late 19th century, particularly as teachers in the United States. Keene argues that women were often overlooked and undervalued in the field of education, and that their contributions were essential to the success of American schools.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of women’s role in education. Keene discusses the history of women in teaching, from the early days of the country when women were often the only teachers available, to the present day when women were still struggling for equal rights and recognition. She also examines the various obstacles that women faced in pursuing a career in education, including discrimination, lack of training and support, and societal expectations.Throughout the book, Keene emphasizes the importance of women’s voices in education, arguing that they bring a unique perspective and set of skills to the classroom. She also provides examples of successful female teachers and educators, highlighting their contributions to the field and the impact they had on their students.Overall, Voiceless Teachers: Whence They Come, And What They Teach is a powerful and insightful look at the role of women in education during the late 19th century. Keene’s arguments and observations are still relevant today, and the book remains an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about gender and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
