Revising Herself: The Story of Women's Identity from College to Midlife

In 1972, Josselson was a young pscyhologist fascinated by the riddle of how a woman creates an identity and chooses one path over another in life--particularly in the face of the nascent femininst movement. Selecting at random 30 women in their last year of college, Josselson undertook a groundbreaking story that would follow these women over the next 22 years. What she learned about the ways in which women reinvent themselves is the subject of this myth-shattering book.
