102. From Bride Price To Platitudes: A Cross-Cultural Look at Women in Education (1990)
Women's Education des femmes, June 1990 - Vol. 8, No. 1
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Jody Hansom
The author's premise in this article is that education in general, and literacy in particular, are gender issues. What, exactly, is the difference between the West African practice of not paying girls' school fees, and the Canadian message to female students to limit their educational horizons? Isn't the Canadian man who refuses to parent in the evening while his wife attends classes helping to deny her access to education?

103. From One Who Works with Crones (1993)
Women's Education des femmes, Winter 1992-93 - Vol. 10, No. 1
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Cheryl Storey
Discrimination against older women is an educational form of violence in our society. Its ultimate end rationalizes the erasure of women's individual and collective presence, energy and empowerment which often grow and develop as women age. In an ageist and patriarchal society, aging in women is not just considered "ugly," but an outright disease.
In this article, the author examines how what we learn about growing old as women serves to rationalize and perpetuate the violence committed against us throughout our lives be it through commission, omission or outright denial. Also, she examines how a crucial aspect of violence prevention in relation to older women is celebrating and re-claiming our “her stories”, our "chronologies", and our "power-from-within".

104. Gaining Visibility: Older Women and Education (1990)
Women's Education des femmes, Autumn 1990 - Vol. 8, No. 2
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Sharon Harold
In this article, the author discusses the growing number of aging women in Canada and the lack of educational opportunities available for this group. Aging women are still the "invisible majority" of elderly in Canada, despite their increasing numbers. Current educational opportunities for older women are almost nonexistent. Older women have been socialized to have low expectations of what is available to them in the way of educational programming. And older women often have low expectations of themselves - they experience feelings of being "too old", "too dumb" or of it being "too late".

Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Marie Barton
A research project was undertaken by the author, with the assistance of a group of women, adult students from a Personal Life Management course the author was facilitating. The purpose of the research project, with the help of the group of women, was to develop a list of strategies, or anything that would be helpful to teachers who are aware of violence in the lives of children they teach, but unsure as to what, if anything, they could offer.
The group of women made suggestions on what teachers could do. In this article, three of these suggestions are discussed: teacher training, continuing of contact with personnel, and women's studies courses in secondary school.

Women's Education des femmes, Winter 1993 - Vol. 10, No. 3/4
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Pat Armstrong
This questionnaire was intended to test the reader's knowledge of the connections between training, education and employment for women in the 1990's. At the end of the questionnaires, answers are presented, along with a number of conclusions, such as: lack of education and training could not explain rising unemployment, nor could unemployment (and under-employment) be solved with more education and training; the labour force was becoming feminized—that is, men's jobs were becoming more like women's jobs; i.e., less pay, more part-time work.

Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Laura Jackson
How does a woman upgrade her education and skills when she lives in a remote northern community? When the only road winds 25 kilometers north-east to a couple of small villages on the lake? When the nearest university is several hundred kilometers away? And what happens when a woman has children at home, and no money to spare?
The author spoke to three such women of Labrador. For each one, ingenuity and imagination were part of the answer.
