This is a better argued paper than some, connecting literacy education for women with their aspirations and actions to achieve a more equal and effective part in society.  The inadequacy of literacy education for its own sake and the need to embed literacy education in a form of political project or other form of practical relevance is argued from a number of viewpoints.

The language is reasonably dispassionate hence provides a more objective source of reference material than some of the more stridently feminist treatise.
