Laurie Charles finished her Ph.D., then took off to West Africa as
a Peace Corps volunteer. Asked to create programs to help
adolescent girls stay in school, she found herself enmeshed in the
politics and cultural barriers that prevent these girls from
creating a better life. But that was not all that was enmeshed.
Charles found love, sexual fulfillment, sexual harassment, and
gender discrimination, all of which further complexified her stated
mission. Her candid assessment of life and work in Africa, the
intimate relationships that gave hope to the possibility of change,
the emotional and physical highs and lows that affected her ability
to function, all become factors affecting her success in improving
the lives of African girls. This eloquent narrative should be of
interest both to those doing development work and to those
interested in autoethnographic exploration of the self.
