Path-breaking research on women and literacy in the past decade
established conventions and advanced innovative methods that push
the making of knowledge into new spheres of inquiry. Taking these
accomplishments as a point of departure, this volume emphasizes the
diversity--of approaches and subjects--that characterizes the next
generation of research on women and literacy. It builds on and
critiques scholarship in literacy studies, composition studies,
rhetorical theory, gender studies, postcolonial theory, and
cultural studies to open new venues for future research.
Contributors discuss what literacy is--more precisely, what
literacies are--but their strongest interest is in documenting and
theorizing women's lived experience of these literacies, with
particular attention to:
*the diversity of women's literacies within the U.S., including but
not limited to the varying relations that exist among women,
literacy, economic position, class, race, sexuality, and
education;
*relations among women, literacy, and economic contexts in the U.S.
and abroad, including but not limited to changes in women's private
and domestic literacies, the evolution of technologies of literacy,
and women's experience of the commodification of literacies;
and
*emergent roles of women and literacy in a globally interdependent
world.
This broad, significant work is a must-read for researchers and
graduate students across the fields of literacy studies,
composition studies, rhetorical theory, and gender studies.
