Religious Influences in Thai Female Education (1889-1931)

World Religions

“Runchana Suksod-Barger's significant study, Religious Influences in Thai Female Education (1889-1931), analyzes the historically important relationship between traditional, exclusively male, Buddhist schooling; Protestant missionary schools that promoted female education; and politically astute Thai royalty, who ultimately embraced the transition to inclusion. Expert use of rare documents makes this a text critical to gender studies, education, missiology, and political science.”
