What happens when some women in
adult literacy or basic education
programs decide to do something
woman-positive?

For two years, 30 women from across Canada took part in a program-based action research project that asked: What happens when some women in an adult literacy or basic education program decide to do something they define as woman-positive? Three books tell the stories of their experience.
