Part one reviews the relevant research concerning employment, traditional university offerings, and vocational and educational lifestyles of women. The results of a questionnaire sent to 376 program directors are described in part two in an attempt to learn priorities for Federal funds along with some of the more successful models of programs for women. A review of educational legislation revealed that there are provisions that would permit the funding of services and/or research that would promote more effective development of programs for women. Part three assesses the impact of these activities and identifies potential funding sources for practitioners in the field. (Author/PG).

The 1990s have witnessed major changes in adult and continuing education, and lifelong learning has become an increasing global concern for both legislators and educators. This book focuses on the role of women - learners and teachers, researchers and managers - within this context of challenge and change. The keynote is one of reflective practice, combining theoretical insight and debate with examples of experience and specific initiatives in different parts of England and Wales. The book looks at the purpose of continuing education and what it might offer women. What kind of learning takes place and where is that place? Is there a curriculum for women? What is distinctive about women researching in continuing education and what is their experience? How visible are women in terms of publications and power? What about the workers? How far have equal opportunities gone in relation to full-time and part-time staff? What is the significance of the fragmentation of the concept 'woman' and the challenge to feminism from debates on essentialism, race, class and sexual identity? What lessons can be learned by and from women? education and for women if politicians, policy-makers and practitioners create a culture of earning opportunity, recognising women's entitlement and valuing women's contribution.
