Teaching about families from a feminist perspective is likely to result in more effective family life education than teaching from more traditional perspectives. Three core assumptions shared by feminists are used to examine the contributions of feminist perspectives to the content and methods of, and participants in, family life education. Regarding content, feminist critiques have deepened our understanding of families and children and have informed the process of conducting research. Regarding methods, feminist perspectives are more likely to engage learners by facilitating their connectedness and empowerment within the educational process. Feminist perspectives highlight the unique strengths, characteristics, and needs of participants.
