Lorraine Duvall embraced the early years of the feminist movement, forging her own way from what was expected of a suburban housewife. She relates the challenges of succeeding in the male dominated computer software profession, and in attaining a Ph.D. while in her 50s. Lorraine credits the early introduction to Eastern mystical practices in providing her with the strength and wisdom to pursue a path that was right for her.\u003cp\u003eLorraine writes of place — growing up in Binghamton, NY; pursuing a professional career in Manhattan, Chicago and Central NY; and finding her way to the Adirondack Mountains of New York State.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFROM THE AUTHOR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hope readers of my memoir are inspired to make choices in their lives that are true to their own nature - to experience the joy of living in the place where they can say:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnd I Know Too Much\u003c\/i\u003e to Pretend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloated Toe Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49786750796016,"sku":"9781939216359","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939216359","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
