Four parts are included: (1) First of all, the status of women traditionally positioned as the other is analyzed; (2) Four angels, such as curriculum, teacher-student interactions, the use and distribution of space and sexual harassment are used to investigate the current schooling;(3) Gender difference is reanalyzed in order to change our distorted view of females; (4) Finally, several important theories of learning and teaching are discussed under a vision of gender education. Key Words feminism, gender difference, gender education 2
