Gender in Popular Education: Methods for empowerment

The story of this book how it came to be, its context and content broadly echoes themes and concerns of feminist popular education as it has been developing transnationally over the past decade or so. It bears the imprint of international feminist and women's politics, confirming the commonality of many issues for women around the globe, just as it reminds us of the differences in what it means to be 'woman' in various classes and cultures. The book has been constrained by the parameters, pressures and interruptions of activists' lives, taking three years of moments stolen here and there to complete. It reveals the learning and creativity of women educators and grassroots women's organizing in contexts ranging from city pavements to political parties, hostels to health programmes, classrooms to community centres, and more.
