Women Teaching, Women Learning: Historical Perspectives is a collection of essays exploring aspects of women's formal and informal education in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The subjects of the essays are women who teach and learn in such traditional institutional-based settings as schools and universities as well as in informal learning networks that arose from travel and involvement in social activism. The authors write in a variety of styles in order to focus on the complex interplay of women and education with education broadly conceptualized as occurring at home, at school, and in the community.

Elizabeth M. Smyth's most recent work is a co-edited volume, Wisdom Raises Her Voice: The Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto Celebrate 150 Years. Paula Bourne is co-author, with Dorothy Smith, of Gender Equity and the Professional Education of Teachers: A Critical Review.
