Abstract
Narrative analysis provides women an opportunity to hear and understand their multiplicity of voices and create opportunities to change and improve their lives. The use of poetry in qualitative research allows us to investigate and highlight components of participant voice and story that otherwise may not be revealed. Informed by Labov‟s work on narratives and Gilligan‟s feminist perspective, I explore the use of narrative and poetry to collaboratively construct the stories of women working in various positions in the juvenile corrections school setting with my participants.
