The Prophet and the Virgin

Errol Miller

This book presents a unique historical sociology of the teaching profession from the Age of Religion to the 19th century era of nation-states.

The focus of this ambitious undertaking is gender.

The Prophet and the Virgin traces the demography of the teaching population from one comprised largely of males to one that was predominantly female. The author illustrates how the masculine and feminine roots of teaching which spring from a religious grounding have left a social legacy of the profession as one of integrity, concerned with the construction of a healthy society.
