'Promoting All-Round Education for Girls convincingly charts the shifting purposes and practices of girls' education in Hong Kong. The text moves seamlessly between the history of the school and the wider context of Hong Kong's history. Patricia P. K.

Patricia P. K. Chiu is honorary assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Hong Kong.
