Description "This book challenges the uncritical use of the long held dictum of the development discourse that education empowers women. Situated in the post-structuralist feminist position it argues that in its current state the educational discourse in Pakistan actually disempowers women. Furthermore, through a systematic examination of the educational discourse in Pakistan the book argues that the educational discourse through curricula, textbooks and pedagogical practices constitutes gendered identities
