Other blogs have talked about the book:
Marg Mowczko reviews “Valiant or Virtuous?” by Suzanne McCarthy
Suzanne’s blogs were Suzanne’s Bookshelf and then also the BLT blog
There are obituaries in The Globe and Mail and from Mount Pleasant Group
Tributes appeared on blogs and discussion boards, including Kristen Rosser’s moving account as well as the following:
Also related to this, Marg Mowczko (who provides one of the endorsements on the book) wrote about texts sometimes used to diminish women. Claude Montonini plans to explore some of those texts further on his own blog:
While the focus of this podcast is Suzanne’s book, I also want to highlight Ruth’s own work as a scholar. Here are three examples from among them: China Through the Lens of Comparative Education (Routledge: World Library of Educationalists, 2015). There is also a podcast where the author is interviewed about the book. Second, a co-edited book, just out in 2018, Religion and Education: Comparative and International Perspectives (Oxford: Symposium books, 2018). Third, Canadian Universities in China’s Transformation: An Untold Story (Montreal: McGill Queens University Press, 2016). A friend is active in the field of comparative education, and teaching in the core about other cultures and nations I often wish I had time to read more widely about the educational approaches and systems in other countries. From my experience of studying in the U.K. and teaching in Romania, I am aware of how significant the differences can be and how they are shaped by and in turn shape a society’s values.
Now, back to the subject of Suzanne’s wonderful book, here are some more links related to ancient and modern women:
