Voices: Commonwealth women and education
A collection of the voices of women from around the Commonwealth.The voices of Commonwealth women captured on this website are inspirational. They challenge the concept that history, whether of a country or the development of education within a country, relates mostly to government decisions or outside interventions. The courage and determination which many of these women have shown to obtain their own education and then to share the benefits of their qualifications with others is a valuable reminder of the importance of the individual. It is encouraging to realise again the influence that such women can have in developing progressive policies at all levels, whether in relation to education, health, business or politics.
These voices have been collected by the Council for Education in the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
The voices can be read in the following website:

The project is ongoing - and more women are adding their experiences weekly.
