Feminism, Adult Education and Creative Possibility

This book is a brilliant tapestry of courage, hope, and radical feminist imagination, visualizing change while dispelling invisibility and silence. Whilst deeply urgent and brimming over with important insights of decolonisation, it is also diverse in mediums and genre, reflecting an attempt of the feminist imaginary to be inclusive and bold. * Carole Roy, Professor, Dept. of Adult Education, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada *
This inspiring and wide-ranging text illustrates how care, love, hope, and relationality informed a diverse collection of feminist, intersectional, imaginative aesthetic projects.
