| Title |
Women of Valour: Literacy as the Creation of Personal Meaning in the Lives of a Select Group of Hassidic Women in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
An ethnographic inquiry into the way in which literacy creates personal meaning in the lives of ten Hassidic women in Quebec. The author conceptualizes the pivotal role of literacy practices in articulating links between individual people’s everyday experience and wider social institutions and structures. Among the conclusions drawn by the author is that it is the Hassidic woman who is the final arbiter of her own information needs and her literacy practices encompass a diversity of purposes, materials and competencies.
