Description
Exploring the complex relationships between class, education and personal experience, Jane Thompson's work provides a nuanced understanding of what learning really means for working-class women.
The author draws on her own autobiographical experiences to inform theoretical analysis, illustrating how personal narratives can underpin arguments about women's changing relationships with class, community, consciousness and education.
Through vivid examples of educational work with working-class women in England and Northern Ireland, Thompson sheds light on the importance of feminism as a source of political inspiration, social analysis and change.
