First published in 1991. Ringing the Changes is a realistic and practical guide that provides ideas, information and advice for women planning a return to work or study after a career break. Gill Dyer, Gina Mitchell and Moira Monteith draw widely upon their own experiences both as tutors and as women juggling with the conflicting demands of personal and work commitments. This hlepful book includes case studies illustrating the problems faced by women returners and exercises designed to develop communication skills and build self confidence. The text is accompanied by Angela Martin's humorous and delightful illustrations. This book should be of interest to women considering a return to work and to teachers in adult education.
