My preferences:
1) That since we all have limited time, let's try to read something 
that will helps us make direct connections to women & literacy

2) Too Scared to learn is very expensive ( academic press) if people 
don't have access to it -- there' s so much other good stuff available 
by Jenny Horsman - i'd be happy with any of that -- including "Take on 
the Challenge" that can also be downloaded.

3) another one I'd like to read: Septima Clark (echo in my soul is out 
of print but Ready from Within is still available)

4) NOT Gilligan [in a different voice] too old and limited in scope for 
our population

5) Women's Ways of Knowing is by Mary Belenky et.el. (having read it 
several times)  I'm not as interested in this but would "go with the 
flow" if that's the consensus.

I also saw one vote for Women's Studies Quarterly. If people are really 
interested in this, I can sell copies for a discount through WE LEARN 
and I'd be willing to facilitate as "guest editor."

another book not on the list yet but very good for this group could be 
"Women as Learners" edited by Elizabeth Hayes.
