Abstract:
In her book 'Unfit Subjects: Educational Policy and the Teen Mother', Wanda Pillow describes how schools continue to shortchange pregnant and school-age mothers in spite of Title IX (which prohibits publicly-funded schools from discriminating on the basis of gender).
The reviewer of this book, Lee SmithBattle, believes that while educators will find this book of great interest, it will also appeal to a much wider audience.
