It is most likely that these women did not have someone read to them when they were young, and it is a relaxing, enjoyable luxuary. A Women's Way of Knowing is a good book about self actualization and learning about one's own knowledge that she can offer others. I use some of the passages to teach classes about assertiveness, deserving, the right to say "NO" etc. Choose books that teach, set examples of independence,and fun even nonsense books that let them laugh and not have to worry or "think." Of course you probably would like titles to go with these type of books. I find art books particularly soothing and quieting too. >From: "Marnie Nair" <marnienair@hotmail.com> >Reply-To: nifl-womenlit@literacy.nifl.gov >To: Multiple recipients of list <nifl-womenlit@literacy.nifl.gov> >Subject: [NIFL-WOMENLIT:697] women's book group >Date: Fri, 5 May 2000 12:17:47 -0400 (EDT) > >I am getting ready to start a book group in a Domestic Violence Shelter. >Our literacy program is a new effort and so the women and their reading >levels are unknown at this point.
