DAPHNE this looks great and thanks for doing this. I am interested in
all of these, although I have to admit, I have less time right now for a
whole book. I think access to the material is important. Not everyone
can get a copy of these. A number of the items listed here are only in
books. I have been photocopying them for free for the folks in my
discussion group-- then there is copyright issues with pdf'ing something
and distributing it. So I don't know how to get around this in an online
venue. Bertha mentioned Jenny Horsman's book, Too Scared to Learn. A lot
of people have that book. On the other hand,  a number of materials of
hers are available on websites (like notes from the book), although not
the book itself. Just some thoughts. Thx, Sondra

Subject: [WomenLiteracy 416] book discussion

Quite a few of you expressed an interest in exploring the possibility of
having a discussion on something that we all read regarding women and
literacy. I have collated all the suggestions from previous posts and
listed them below. If you are interested, please look at the list, and
post which resource you would like to discuss on this listserv. 
Some possible considerations when deciding:
a. Is the material accessible on the Internet-not everyone has equal
access to materials not on the Internet.
b. Should we do a complete book, chapter, or article? Not everyone has
the same amount of time to read.
c. Is there a resource not included on this list that you would like to
recommend?
Once we decide on the reading material, we can decide on the procedure
of how we want to go about doing this. 
By the way, if I have made a mistake in listing a resource, please let
us know!
Please post your suggestions by Friday the 14th.
Daphne
