[WE LEARN]

If you're interested in understanding about women's literacy, I have  
the following suggestions -- and I've attached a brochure - these  
items are available from WE LEARN:

Laboring to Learn: Women’s Literacy & Poverty in the Post-Welfare Era
Lorna Rivera, Ph.D. University of Illinois Press, 2008.
Throughout this study, the voices and experiences of formerly  
homeless women challenge cultural stereotypes about poor women,  
showing in personal and structural terms how social and economic  
forces shape and restrict opportunities for low-income women of color.

Women and Literacy: Moving to Power and Participation
Women’s Studies Quarterly, 32 (1 & 2), 2004, Edited by Mev Miller,  
Founder of WE LEARN
Practitioners raise significant questions about literacy and women,  
identity, and power.
