THINKING THEMSELVES FREE - CYNTHIA MILLER COFFE...

Thinking Themselves Free presents humane  tender portraits of a small group of teen mothers
trying to finish high school  and describes the ways in which reading  writing  and schooling
shaped these young women's lives. The book suggests ways in which deeply held ideas about class
appropriate gender roles  and the expression of emotion in school affect educators'
relationships with students who are different from the middle-class norm. Teachers of teen
mothers describe with poignancy the young women's struggles to balance motherhood  work  and
school  and suggest how schools could change to become more open to the diversity of life
choice these women express. Because this book addresses the problems of struggling readers 
working class students  and the teachers who serve them  its greatest audience will be among
pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher educators interested in literacy education 
qualitative research  education reform  gender equity  social justice  and the teaching of
young adult literature.
