Women Studying Childcare: Integrating Lives Through Adult Education

Through rich personal narratives, Hazel R. Wright reveals how women studying childcare use education to balance a need to be both mothers and workers, and how they manage stasis and change.

Informed by data collected from 150 students over a ten-year period, the book challenges the assumption that vocational education cannot embrace broader liberal goals. With its fascinating personalized insights and new theoretical perspectives, it illustrates how the women exercise their right to determine their own lifestyle.
