ABSTRACT
For Jane Roland Martin, life is a series of metamorphoses or whole-person transformations, embedded in a curricular form. These personal transformations are also culture-crossings, that is, passages from one culture to another. In these transformations, some underlying traits endure. By the whole person, she means a holistic way of being. In asserting the power of education and indeed in endorsing a view of a gender-responsive curriculum, this acts as a repudiation of a romantic or naturalized conception of education. Her transformational curriculum is gender-sensitive.
