This is a handbook for women interested in returning to school.
Adult educators, counselors, and researchers know that one of the biggest struggles facing women who are thinking of going back to school or getting further training is to find information about programs and support services.

We hope that this handbook is useful to a wide variety of women who are in many different situations.
