Dear librarians...

Some of you may know me from my years of work 
with the Women's Presses Library Project (WPLP). 
I'm still doing that work -- at least in the 
Interet world at (www.litwomen.org/wplp.html) -- 
we should have some new publishers there 
in the next month.

However, I also have another piece of work I'm 
doing with issues of women and literacy. The 
litwomen.org website is an umbrella not only 
for WPLP but for another initiative I've been 
working on since 1996 - Women Leading Through 
Reading. I've recently updated their portion of the 
website. It includes a resource list of BASIC 
English literacy materials that address women's 
issues, a desciption of the work we've been doing, 
a manual about how to organize and do training 
for the Women Leading Through Reading book groups, 
and a questionnaire so that I can continue 
to add resources. It's located at:

www.litwomen.org/wltr.html

[resource list:

  http://www.litwomen.org/Resources.html ] ja

This website will grow and change over the next 
few years as it is part of my dissertation project 
and a future for my career work. 

I've not had a chance yet to figure out how to 
contact the ALA section for literacy but I thought 
some of you might be interested in this 
resource. anything you have to add will be 
appreciated.

Thanks for your continued support. 

Mev
