Erin Murphy-Graham is Assistant Adjunct Professor of Education at the University of California, Berkeley. She was formerly Assistant Professor of International Education at New York University.
A major contribution in helping us turn discussion of empowerment
and education away from jargon and cynicism, enhancing our concern
with women's struggles for recognition, capabilities, and wider
social change.
--Elaine Unterhalter, University of London
Based on her years of intensive interviews, Murphy-Graham teaches
us that the right kind of education promotes much more than
economic opportunities. We learn about the remarkable ways that
women changed: recognizing their own human worth, developing public
voices, creating their own businesses, pursuing higher education,
and negotiating more egalitarian marriages. This book should be
read by everyone interested in the transformational power of
education and in gender equality, and by all who seek hope for a
better world.
--Francine Deutsch, Mt. Holyoke College
Erin Murphy-Graham shows how the complex process of empowerment
unfolds, and answers the question of how it can take place within
an educational program that also prepares students for traditional
educational assessments. A valuable contribution to understanding
gendered processes of empowerment at school and home.
--Karen Monkman, DePaul University
