Conversation Circles In the Spring of 2001, a number of conversation circles were held with adult women learners. Women talked in groups about these things:
- If you felt
like reading something and you stretched out your hand to the table
and the reading material was sitting right there, what would it be?
What would you want to read? What would you like to read?
- What do you
wish you could understand? What do you want to learn about? What topics
do you want to read about?
- What are some
of the things you've read that you really enjoy?
- What helps you to understand your lfe as a woman?
You can now read what they said!
Choose the topic that most interests you. Read all about it!
