Abstract	The transcript (translated into English) of a roundtable discussion of literacy among francophone women in Canada begins with the personal narrative of one women who gained literacy skills as an adult. The panel of three specialists in francophone women's literacy in Canada then look at the literacy rate among Canadian women, and the demand for and objectives of literacy education for this group. Three disadvantages of Canadian francophone women are noted: a high rate of illiteracy; minority language; and gender discrimination. An additional problem is seen in the fact that literacy education programs further the inequities by creating low-paying jobs for women. Difficulties in promoting literacy instruction also include geographic distances, lack of child care facilities, and scheduling for literacy students and for literacy teacher trainees. Panelists make recommendations and offer directions for future literacy training efforts for francophone women in Canada. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
