65. Education & Women: Equality is Still Elusive (1985)
Women's Education des femmes, Winter 1985 - Vol. 4, No. 2
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Gail Paradise Kelly
Girls' attitudes toward their education, as well as boys' toward girls and their prospective roles, are shaped by media, advertisement and the culture which deny women's claim to equality with men. This socialization effect is powerful, so much so that even when structural barriers are removed, females are reluctant to enter fields such as science, technology, and administration, which are identified as male domains. For educational equality to become a reality, education needs to be reformed, but so also do society and its cultural norms about appropriate sex roles.
The article, written in Englis, begins with a summary in French.

66. Education and Employment for the Next Millennium (1996)
Women's Education des femmes, Summer 1996 - Vol. 12, No. 2
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Maria Barile
In this article, the author contends that for the majority women with disabilities, higher education may become even more difficult to attain in the future. This is due to the present down sliding and transforming economy, as well as the effects of combined and ongoing sexism and ableism. Women with disabilities who do reach graduate and post graduate degrees may find that their outcome is not on par with non-disabled women or men with disabilities. Without higher education and degrees, people with disabilities will likely be worse off.
