註釋Origins and outcomes of girls; secondary schooling in South Australia. A detailed case study of the Advanced School for Girls in Adelaide reveals that a serious academic education does indeed have the potential to enable women to challenge the sexual division of labour. However, social class divisions and attitudes specific to a particular class militate against that potential being realized. What occurred in the lives of educated middleclass women was a redefinition of femininity to include professional competence and acceptable paid work. This redefinition, an important one for women, nevertheless perpetuated a notion of separate women's work, to be subordinated to family concerns.
