Abstract
Women’s relation with education has been considered in different levels such as students, teachers, and administrators in academic studies. However, there has been limited research on women in the education system as mothers. Gök (2012) explains the relationship between women and education in three main areas; women as students, teachers, and mothers. Historically women take part in the education system less than men. Their duration of presence in the education system and how far they can go in education is determined by their social class and their cultural and social capital. Nevertheless, regardless of the social class they come from, they are in a disadvantaged position, which makes the school field a zone of the struggle for power.
