I would appreciate any suggested sources that discuss literacy and gender.  I'm
 writing my thesis on the ways in which socially-constructed gender values infl
uence our ideas about literacy, i.e. a masculine-based functional literacy base
d on efficiency and production is valued over what Frank Smith calls "the creat
ion of worlds."  The tentative title is "Engendering Literacy," and I'm using t
he work of Carol Gilligan, Nancy Chodorow, Frank Smith, Myron Tuman, Robert Pat
tison, Harvey Graff, Madeleine Grumet, and Shirley Brice Heath (so far); any ot
her suggestions?  Thanks,
