An exploration of the plight of feminist scholars in the academy. Focuses on the notion that feminists have traded their idealism and concerns about their lived experiences for a place in the academy.

Attempts to challenge conventional wisdom that education consists of small, incremental changes. Using case studies of personal transformations, or metamorphoses, this book examines Malcolm X, Shaw's Eliza Doolittle, Victor of Aveyron and others to demonstrate how education is a fundamental determinant of the human condition.
