Publisher's Synopsis
The Second Course is the third in a series and is a collection of 11 stories about New Zealand women who have chosen to return to study as mature students. Judith completed her own university study when she was in her 50's. The stories were created from interviews and each story is accompanied by photographs. Judith was interested to discover what motivates women to return to study when they often have heavy work or family commitments. Was it to give them more opportunities work wise, or for the personal achievement and growth that a course of study provides? Maybe there was some other motive? Was the effort and time involved worthwhile? Writing the collection gave her an insight into how curiosity, strength and determination will open up a wealth of energy to channel into learning and development.
