"I read excerpts from this book when I was in college. Now, a few years on, I decided to read the whole thing on a whim. It's a good, meaty discussion of the ways that girls and boys are socialized differently in schools. It contains strands of analysis that will already be familiar to anyone with an interest in women's studies, but the specific school research gives fascinating examples of how teachers - and the learning institution itself - consciously and unconsciously divide students down gender lines.
In comparison to most sociology texts, which are generally dry, Thorne writes in a clear and engaging manner. The book is, nonetheless, slightly repetitive, including reiteration of Thorne's points that a casual (i.e. non-scholarly) reader will find unnecessary. Published more than fifteen years ago, using research from the 1980s, it's an understandably dated book. However, it's still an interesting read that even modern readers should get a lot out of."
