    Adult Education on the Newfoundland Coast: Adventure and Opportunity for Women in the 1930s and 1940s1 LEONA M. ENGLISH “When a comprehensive economic history of Newfoundland comes to be written, its unsung heroines may well prove to be the working women.”2 THE WOMEN WHO ARE AT the heart of this article were indeed unsung heroines of Newfoundland. They were primarily educated outport women who travelled throughout coastal communities in Newfoundland to implement a unique system of adult education in the 1930s, one that internationally known adult educator Albert Mansbridge was delighted to describe as “indigenous to Newfoundland.”3 Although many of them left no historical records, they were central to the recon- structive efforts of the 1930s and 1940s under Newfoundland’s Commission of Government. This paper explores the contributions of Elsie Farwell, Jessie Mifflen, and Sara Coady to adult education in Newfoundland, focusing on their role in teaching basic literacy and in providing home support and social service.4 Attention is given to how the various aspects of the chosen model of adult education fit into their available career and life patterns, offering alternatives to early marriage, nurs- ing, and school teaching. Historian Linda Kealey has wondered why the history of women in education in Newfoundland has been neglected when forays into areas such as women’s struggle for the vote and participation in the law have been far better documented.5 NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR STUDIES, 26, 1 (2011) 1719-1726 26 English Exceptions include the work of Katherine McManus,6 James Overton,7 and Phillip McCann.8 Clearly, much is unique about the experience of women adult educators in Newfoundland — the opportunities afforded them were affected both by their gender and by their participation in the Newfoundland Adult Education Associa- tion (NAEA).
