From CCLOW: Aisla Thomson, for her reassuring calm, her faith that we would achieve miracles and her playfulness. Bernnitta Hawkins, who eagerly and with humor took over a million decisions in the middle and who makes it clear she believes in our work without ever having met us. Dianne Palachik, for the hidden work that makes everything run smoothly. Facilitators: Elaine Gaber-Katz, who helped us, over and over again, to see where we were and move forward, and who was a personal inspiration to many of us. Moon Joyce, who played and sang and got us singing to bring us together, to energize and encourage us. Selvi Varathappan Dyck and Marie Gregory, who remain a big part of the project, even though, as a result of circumstances beyond their control, they were not able to complete the work. We would like to thank them for the research and writing they did on women's issues, and for contributing their ideas and their enthusiasm to our meetings. Louise Ford, for her creative contributions to our first meeting. All the individual adult literacy and EAL learners we have encountered, for their honesty, courage and determination to learn, and for helping us learn to teach.

How This Book Came to Be What is a Feminist Curriculum? by Kate Nonesuch Women at the Centre of the Curriculum by Janet Isserlis Responding to Disclosures of Abuse in Women's Lives by Jenny Horsman Daily Lives by Janet Isserlis Exploring Learning and Identity by Jenny Horsman Self Esteem and Literacy by Dorothee Komangapik Gender Roles by Kate Nonesuch Cultural Awareness Activities by Alice Li Role Models by Evelyn Battell Women and Work by Selvi Varathappan Dyck, Evelyn Battell, Janet Isserlis and Kate Nonesuch Tools for Building Self-Esteem by Francene Gillis Choosing Safer Sex by Sue Mendel Songs about Women's Issues by Dharini Abeysekera Poetry by Canadian Women by Helen Winton Women's Ways of Learning by Linda Shohet Women of Courage: Herstory by Anne Moore and the Women's Group of Action Read Bibliography What Do I Need to Know about This Book? Introduction section The introductory section of this book is extensive; as well as giving you some background to the writing process, it explores some of the links among feminism, literacy, violence and women-centred curriculum. Two kinds of text After the introductory material, you will find there are two kinds of text in the chapters, each in a different type font. The main text, in this font, is a straightforward description of suggested activities, readings, discussions and so on to use with learners. Beside it you will find occasional comments, in this type font, in which the author "muses" on the work; for example, she may give a rationale for the activity, suggestions for further reading or comments from learners. We have separated the two kinds of text so that when you take the book to class or to a tutoring session, you can find your way through the main text easily, without distractions; when you are reading it outside of class, we hope you find that the comments enrich the main text and put it into a context. Since that context may be like your teaching situation, or may be very different, the comments can help you adapt, expand or contract the activities to suit the learners you work with. The Bibliography The Bibliography begins on page 347. It includes complete listings of resources cited in the chapters, as well as ordering information for hard-to-find items. The jagged heart We use this icon to alert you to activities, readings and topics that might raise strong, perhaps painful, emotions. In the comments beside the jagged heart you will find an explanation, or an alternative activity that is less loaded, or a suggestion that will help you prepare for possible reactions. Particularly, the jagged heart often refers you to the introductory chapter, "Responding to Disclosure of Abuse in Women's Lives," by Jenny Horsman. We suggest you read it before you work with learners on any of the chapters in this book. We use this icon, not to scare you, but to make the curriculum easier to use. Think of it as a heart, because it deals with feelings, feelings that you want to treat tenderly, feelings that, by using the activities in this book, you encourage learners to show. Think of it also as a warning about an explosive device: pay attention to the comments beside it, listen to learners, go slow, and be prepared to stop or change direction as needed. Cassette A cassette tape comes with this book which has the songs used in two chapters, "Songs about Women's Issues" and "Women and Work." Readings At the end of each chapter we have collected all the poems, stories and songs suggested for learners. If you would like more copies of the readings, they are available from CCLOW (address below) as a separate package. Exercises You will also find exercises for the learners at the end of each chapter. These exercises may be photocopied for educational purposes. Miniatures Miniature versions of readings and exercises appear at appropriate places in each chapter. Their purpose is to show clearly what is needed for each section and to remind you of the content of the student material. We hope they will make your class preparation easier. Overlaps If you read the book from cover to cover, you will find similar material in several chapters. The same poet, and sometimes the same poem, for example, may show up in two or three chapters, and many chapters suggest that learners make collages or do a media analysis. Since it seems unlikely that anyone will do all of these chapters with anyone group of learners, we have not tried to eliminate overlaps. If you are doing a chapter that asks your class to make collages similar to ones you have already done, bring out the old collages and look at them, using the focus of the new chapter as a starting point for discussion, before going on to the next activity. Non-sexist language We have tried to refer to "they" rather than "he" or "he or she" when talking generally about people.

Reimer’s book [The Trials of Albert Stroebel] is a gift to history nerds and true-crime lovers alike” —Jesse Donaldson “Accepting yourself at every size? That means rejecting all the whispered edicts of Eurowestern society and the out-loud abuse of strangers. That’s a BIG project. And one worth documenting. As a BIG girl myself, I NEEDED all the stories in [BIG: Stories about Life in Plus-Sized Bodies], from the sad-stark-raging to the joyful-triumphant-funny.” —Ariel Gordon “Furs and gold may dominate BC’s modern creation narrative, but it was the packtrain that made it possible. ... Cataline: The Life of BC’s Legendary Packer is a remarkable window into that astonishing period of the province’s history, and what a story it is!” —Stephen Hume “A compulsively readable novel, The Kissing Fence is a story about resilience and resistance in the face of a shameful, nearly forgotten episode in Canadian history. Insightful and sensitively told, it is a timely story that serves to remind us of the destructive multigenerational effects of the forced assimilation of children.” —Iona Whishaw “Let your soul come to rest in this haunting book as you take a quiet journey to a watershed that someone cherishes. Sweet Water examines our relationship to water in all its forms by the best poets among us and powerfully reminds us of our dependence on this precious life force.

Kate Braid was born in Calgary, Alberta on March 9, 1947. She was raised in Calgary until age 10, when her father got a job in Montreal. Her family lived in an Anglophone neighbourhood. She has memories of the FLQ crisis of the 1970s as she was still working in Quebec and dating a Francophone man at the time. She recalls understanding their frustration but feeling it was not her place as an Anglophone, and so she left the province. She recalls Expo 67, which was the first time she remembers feeling “truly Canadian”.

Indeed, these Invisible Generations helped forge a modern British Columbia. They should be celebrated, not forgotten.” —Mark Forsythe, former CBC British Columbia broadcaster “[In Escape to the Wild,] Hejlskov risks it all for what she believes in and gives us a rare and raw look at the fight it took to try and build a life in the wilderness.” —Nikki van Schyndel, author of Becoming Wild “Rising Tides uses words on climate change to name it, tame it and act as science tells us to, before it is too late—I commend Catriona Sandilands for bringing together this diverse group of people that honoured climate change through these words.” — Dr. Catherine Potvin, Canada Research Chair in Climate Change Mitigation and Tropical Forest (Tier 1) “[In On/Me,] Cunningham doesn’t pull her punches, but they are quick, stinging hits, captur- ing difficult realities, the in-between worlds of belonging and not, of bearing the assumptions that make us a part of a group or alone.
