Women and Literacy Programs
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Betty-Ann Lloyd, Brenda Conroy
Collection: Research Materials
This report discusses a research project undertaken to:
• examine how gender and the power balance of the male/female relationship affect women's access to, and experience of, literacy programs and how it affects the impact of literacy programs on women
• determine how literacy programs and literacy practice might be changed to better respond to the reality of the lives of adult women learners, and
• share this information with women literacy students and workers, through print materials and in workshops, to foster the development of relevant, appropriate, and accessible literacy learning opportunities for women
• talk with women literacy students and workers who are currently involved in literacy programs
• develop key questions out of the "data" of the women's stories
• develop a research design to investigate these questions further using an action research model.

This article discusses the second phase of a project undertaken by the author in conjunction with CCLOW—a participatory /action research project with twelve programs from across Canada. This second phase involves asking women literacy workers to commit themselves to developing, implementing and documenting a woman-positive activity within their programs and to be "up-front" about the nature of this activity with administration, staff and students.

3. Listen to Women in Literacy (1994)
The Power of Woman-Positive Literacy Work
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Tannis Atkinson, Frances Ennis, Betty-Ann Lloyd
Collection: Research Materials
This book explains research done by CCLOW to find out what happened when women in literacy programs decided to do something they thought would be positive for women.
The book can help people understand what the researchers learned about women and literacy. It is hoped it will help readers imagine how to make literacy programs more positive for women. Some programs may use it to start people talking about women in literacy programs.
Some students who read this book before it was printed came up with ideas about how this book could be used in literacy programs. Here are some of their suggestions.
• The book could be read for information about the research.
• It could be used to start discussions in groups and to get ideas for writing.
• The book could be used for examples of things women can do when they get together.
• It could be used to let men know about the kinds of issues women think are important.

5. Women in Literacy Speak (1994)
The Power of Woman-Positive Literacy Work
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Betty-Ann Lloyd, Tannis Atkinson, Frances Ennis
Collection: Research Materials
This book is one part of the public record of an exciting research project involving women across Canada during 1991 and 1992. Two women from each of twelve adult literacy and basic education programs asked themselves, "What happens when some women in a literacy program decide to do something they consider woman-positive?"
The book begins with a description of the women and programs that participated in this research, moves into a summary of the research background, methodology, and design, and then presents the themes that women identified during the process, the collaborative analysis, and the recommendations that grew out of women's ongoing interpretations of their work. The remainder of the book presents the material women and programs developed to document their woman-positive activity.
Readers interested in more detailed information about the research design, the methodological framework, the women who participated in this research, and what happened in each program should turn to the first book in this series, The Power of Women-Positive Literacy Work: Program-Based Action Research. http://www.nald.ca/canorg/cclow/doc/Power/cover.htm
Readers interested in using what happened to spark discussion among students and staff in their programs should turn to Listen to Women in Literacy - The Power of Women-Positive Literacy Work. http://www.nald.ca/canorg/cclow/doc/Listen_t/cover.htm
