Thinking Themselves Free presents humane, tender portraits of a
small group of teen mothers trying to finish high school, and
describes the ways in which reading, writing, and schooling shaped
these young women's lives. The book suggests ways in which deeply
held ideas about class, appropriate gender roles, and the
expression of emotion in school affect educators' relationships
with students who are different from the middle-class norm.
Teachers of teen mothers describe with poignancy the young women's
struggles to balance motherhood, work, and school, and suggest how
schools could change to become more open to the diversity of life
choice these women express. Because this book addresses the
problems of struggling readers, working class students, and the
teachers who serve them, its greatest audience will be among
pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher educators
interested in literacy education, qualitative research, education
reform, gender equity, social justice, and the teaching of young
adult literature.
