This kit consists of nine booklets: an introduction and eight topical texts, each of which is made up of excerpts from materials about the lives of women from Latin America, Africa, and England. The kit is intended for use by women in English-as-a-Second-Language classes, literacy groups, and other women's groups, as a source of ideas for discussion and language learning. The introductory booklet provides information on the kit's use and the groups (publishers, programs, and organizations) who wrote the materials contained in it. The themes of the other booklets include: women's daily schedules; child care; health; housework; finding paid work; working conditions; violence in the home; and women working together for change. Booklet contents include numerous black and white drawings to be used as visual aids, brief narratives and texts, and simple sentences for language learning.
