We Will Have Gained Ourselves : Narrative Experiences of African Women Pursuing Higher Education in the United States of America (Paperback)

"We Will Have Gained Ourselves is an important contribution to the fields of feminist research methods, global/transnational feminism, and higher education. Mumbi Mwangi's analyses of African women's experiences studying in the U.S. illuminate the consequences of their decisions on their understanding of themselves as women, wives, mothers, and citizens. Her work includes important policy recommendations to promote women's access to higher education and provides new insights into feminist qualitative methodology." – Leslie Rebecca Bloom, Roosevelt University, author of Under the Sign of Hope: Feminist Methodology and Narrative Interpretation
