Abstract
The rebirth of the women's movement in the late 1960s has stimulated a critical reexamination of the role and treatment of women within the institutional structures of the United States. This reexamination has led to research documenting the complex and pervasive nature of sex stereotypes and discrimination in our society. Research on schooling, moreover, has revealed the extent of sexism in such areas as curriculum, access to extracurricular activities, and employment patterns.
