This book provides valuable insights into the situation of women in
distance education around the world. A wide variety of evidence
from different countries supports the conclusion that open and
distance learning has the potential to provide equal opportunities
in higher and continuing education and that these are currently
being missed. The author provides conclusive evidence that distance
education, while involving a degree of risk to the stability of
families and relationships, etc., nevertheless offers women a
chance which, on balance, is worth taking. The author says that it
is up to distance education policy makers to provide a framework
for women students which will limit the risks and maximise the
opportunities. Drawing on fascinating case study material, this
book presents vital information for these policy makers.
