Greenwood, Claudia M.
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v17 n2 p133-42 May 1990
Examines internal and external factors which affect the way women reentering higher education learn and write. Finds several constant internal factors: sense of inferiority among peers; inability to concentrate; sense of guilt; feeling out of place among younger students; fatigue; and doubt. Finds that positive internal factors outweigh negative ones. (RS)
