Where Girls Come First Paperback - 2005
by Ilana Debare
Twenty years ago, all-girls schools seemed headed for extinction, a minor footnote in the story of American education. Today, they are experiencing a dramatic revival. In Where Girls Come First, Ilana DeBare interweaves the first complete history of girls' schools in America with her own personal story of cofounding an all-girls school in Oakland, California, in 1999. A chronicle of daily life at girls' schools over the past two hundred years, DeBare's book also illuminates the strong convictions of parents and educators that have fueled the rise of new all-girls schools throughout the country. It is an important contribution to the current debate on single-sex education in America.
First line
It was a drizzly gray afternoon, that time near the end of the school day when kids seem inevitably to start yawning and staring out the window, but inside the eighth-grade science classroom everyone was exhilarated.
