Abstract

This chapter comprises a feminist evaluation of groupwork, which underpins many processes in adult education , community development and non-theraputic self-help groups, but in particular, the women's community education movement. This movement had ben well documented in many forms (for example, by Aontas, the Adult Education organisation; the Combat Poverty Agency; and Connolly, L. (1996), Connolly, B. (1997), O'Neill, (1992), among others). However I want to look at the assumptions and values that underpin the way in which this education is carried out.
