Between 1963 and 1992, Kenya experienced social, economic, and political change. Meanwhile, acceptable pathways for formally educated women remained stagnant—culture, patriarchy, and the market dictated that women should teach. Because other opportunities existed for men in cities, many women teachers would be concentrated in urban areas. Perspectives of some of the women who were pushed into urban classrooms illuminate how social change influenced the personal value of teaching and the meaning of education. In this dissertation, women teachers' experiences provide a view of the meaning rapid social change and contribute to the task of understanding the role of education in one's life and the meaning of education as a form of work. The study fills a gap in our knowledge concerning the meaning of and connections between education, professional work, and gender in Kenyan women's lives.

Life histories of twenty-four women who taught in Nairobi secondary schools were analyzed as expressions of meaning embedded in shifting contexts. Seven stories highlighted the influences of social structures on teachers' lives and these women's unique capacities to mold social forces.

Women's narratives revealed that although ideas about women's place constrained women's career choices and spheres of influence, notions of formal education as a means to higher social status prompted the desire for high returns from educational credentials, expectations of influential careers, and the push for children's educational success. Each woman interpreted conceptions of education, roles in families, and professional and personal desires as she considered opportunities for enhancement. Each established a meaningful career in education by connecting classroom duties to changing definitions of social transformation and created opportunities for her own children to achieve higher social status. Each participant interpreted her life to earn satisfaction from her role as wife, mother, teacher, and educated being.

This study provides a window for seeing the personal use of education in class formation and the shifting meaning of teaching in changing society. It adds a textured understanding of the role of individual interpretation in creating meaning in a constrained space as it reveals the potential for significant improvements in society should those constraints be removed.
