Abstract:Examines what happens when women are denied access, over a long period of time, to formal education of the type men are given. Emphasis lies on the detrimental effect, not only on the women but also on the whole society, and on the relations between the sexes, of the systematic channeling of men into Western style education, while women were encouraged to stay in trading and home production, or given the equivalent of 'home economics' courses if they were sent to school. One of the most important results of the differential educational opportunities for men and women has been the progressive separation of men and women into different spheres of activity. Notes, ref., tables, résumé en français.
