<span><span><span>Wise and Foolish Virgins: White Women at Work in the Feminized World of Primary School Teaching</span><span> by Sally Campbell Galman asks the question, what does it mean for an entire profession to be numerically dominated by white women, and what is the relationship between teacher preparation and professional feminization? The book tells the story of three very different teacher preparation programs, explores the hopes and struggles of the mostly white, female students in those programs, and opens a window upon the closed world of teacher educators themselves who must straddle multiple worlds and multiple masters. With one foot in ancient allegory and the other in contemporary popular culture, this text addresses the complex ecologies of gender identity and negotiation between student teachers, teacher educators, and policy-makers against the politicized backdrop of pop culture “feminization” and the unique contours of homogenization in the emerging elementary teaching force.</span></span></span>
