This book brings together theoretical and practical debates from adult literacy and language education with those of creative writing and community publishing work. Illustrated by accounts of first-hand experience, each chapter focuses on the practical business of achieving good learning and development opportunities for women and men of all ages.

With a background of a reported decline in literacy standards, the author investigates the relationship between gender and literacy, revealing how families, and women in particular, feel pressurized to be responsible for their children's literacy.

Explores the theory behind adult literacy education - discussing the arguments in favour of literacy, and analysing principles by which literacy may be creatively learned, looking in detail at context, equality and community.
