Es un extenso tratado sobre la adultez, desde la más temprana hasta la tardía, donde se relatan de viva voz experiencias de gente "from all walks of life", demostrando ciertos "pasajes" que son comunes en el transcurso de la vida adulta, al menos en occidente. God.Įste libro lo había leído parcialmente hace varios años, como parte de un curso, pero releerlo y ahora hacerlo por completo fue una experiencia suficientemente grata. I am SO lucky!!! A quote that Sheehy sites (but doesn't agree with) from a number 1 bestseller in 1974 'It is only when a woman surrenders her life to her husband, reveres and worships him and is willing to serve him that she becomes really beautiful to him'. This book would be an interesting to study to see how mores used to be (well, used to be, but also some leftover views). I'm SO glad I didn't grow up then, I'm so grateful for my 'freedom'. Let alone.oh my, there is SO much here that is old fashioned. Author didn't refer to female interviewees as 'Jane' or 'Anne', but Mrs Butler or Mrs Hall? Huh, felt like that took away the woman's identity - the women she was interviewing. It was SCARY! If this is a snapshot of the 70's, heck I'd have been a rotten wife. It was written in 1976, perhaps an updated edition read would have been better. It's LLLLLLOOOOONNNGGG and does ramble a bit, ok a lot. Yikes! Saw this mentioned in another book I read, and thought 'this sounds interesting'.
