WE LEARN (Women Expanding Literacy Education Action Resource) has a  
biannual newsletter that includes a "Student Voices" Column edited by  
Donna Jones (a student leader in San Francisco) -- and occasionally  
we include additional writings in our newsletter - depending on space  
-- and if they address women-centered topics or express women's voice.

More formally, WE LEARN annually published "Women's Perspectives" -  
an theme-based publication that showcases writings by adult literacy/ 
basic education students across all levels from across the U.S. and  
Canada. These collections provide a forum for ABE learners to  
consider and further their knowledge about a variety of issues  
relative to women's experiences that continue to impact their lives  
(for details, go to: http://www.litwomen.org/perspectives.html). The  
call for 2009 will be available in September or early October. We are  
doing some strategic planning at this point to expand this  
publication as a self-sustaining more student-based leadership project.

WE LEARN has posted some student writings on our website - but that's  
an area of the site that needs updating and more regular attention  
--- (volunteers?)

I have (for the past 5 years) also managed the production of "Sharing  
Our Thoughts" in regional Southeast Massachusetts funded by SABES SE  
-- though I think for next year that project will be taking a  
different direction to more program-based publications.
