Books by June Edwards

This study confronts the charges made by the Religious Right (RR) in the USA, against the literature used in public schools. It presents opposing views on democracy, secular humanism, religion, the Bible and the purposes of literature, and analyzes six books vilified by the RR as "immoral".

The lives and contributions of eight female educators who influenced modern American schools are described, as well as the historical context in which the women lived and worked.
