Juanita was seventeen years old and pregnant with her first child
when she began an activity that would ""open"" her mind. Living in
a remote Garifuna village in Honduras, Juanita had dropped out of
school after the sixth grade. In 1996, a new educational program,
Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial (Tutorial Learning System or SAT),
was started in her community. The program helped her see the world
differently and open a small business. Empowering women through
education has become a top priority of international development
efforts. Erin Murphy-Graham draws on more than a decade of
qualitative research to examine the experiences of Juanita and
eighteen other women who participated in the SAT program. Their
narratives suggest the simple yet subtle ways education can spark
the empowerment process, as well as the role of men and boys in
promoting gender equality. Drawing on in-depth interviews and
classroom observation in Honduras and Uganda, Murphy-Graham shows
the potential of the SAT program to empower women through expanded
access and improved quality of secondary education in Latin America
and Africa. An appendix provides samples of the classroom lessons.
