| Summary: | This article looks at the role and experiences of working class (other) women<br />who return to education in universities and community education. The educational experiences<br />are explored through the voices of working class women by using feminist<br />biographical approaches. The stories reveal the centrality of class and gender inequalities<br />in the women's lives. The biographies highlight the potential of education as a<br />transforming experience for working class women as they critically reflect upon their<br />life experiences shaped by class and gender. The theoretical framework draws on feminism<br />and radical women's education while critiquing academic feminism and arguing for<br />a more dialogical approach. Although universities do offer a space for transformation<br />for women the curriculum needs to draw more overtly on the experiences and knowledge<br />of 'women adult students from below'. |
