'Women yarning, sharing experiences and ideas; agreeing and disagreeing; eating, laughing, enjoying one another's company; learning about and celebrating each other's lives and creativity - this was Voices of Strength. After an initial sharing in St Helen's, we met at Leprena over six weeks ... supported by Leprena staff and Glenorchy LINC literacy coordinator, Kirrily Twyford. The methodology we developed was that I tape and transcribe our conversations, then together we crafted our insights into the collection contained in this book, enhanced by the artwork of group and family members.' Terry Whitebeach, preface.
