In the story Dreaming Again, nineteen-year old mother of two, dreams of going back to school.  She wants to attend an adult education school where her friend teaches. However, her husband is against educating women. Determined to resume her education, she comes up with a plan. Will it work?  The story is accompanied by Catching My Dream, a poem that suggests steadfastness and confidence in pursuing one’s dreams, and What is Your Path?: Sex and Gender, an essay about gender inequality and the many challenges it constructs for women.
