Klappentext zu „Making the Best of Life “
This book explores how one group of aged women spokeof themselves as learners across their life span. Thenine women who made up the group were born in thefirst quarter of the twentieth century, had generallylimited formal education and spent most of theirlives in Australia. In their life times theyexperienced world war, economic depression and familycrisis as well as periods of apparent stability andpeace, and across these eras they have been exposedto a range of discourses that impacted on theirunderstanding of themselves as women and as learners.Their stories show us how this group drew on thediscourses available to them in an enabling andempowering way in a time when women were typicallyseen as 'just a wife and mother'. By showing thesepersonal narratives as socially shared, dialecticallycreated, culturally embedded and personally mediated,our understandings of learning and development areenriched. These women's stories make visible theplaces, spaces and processes of life-longandlife-wide learning.
