Women's Education des femmes, Spring 1993 - Vol. 10, No. 2

Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)

Authors: Diane Eastman

The author participated in a two-year national action research project in 1991-92, sponsored by CCLOW. With women from 11 other adult literacy and basic education programs across the country, she developed and implemented a woman-positive activity in her program.

This article describes the activity she and the women in her program chose to implement. They worked together and rewrote a pamphlet, “Adults Molested as Children,” in plain language so more people would be able to read it.
