Life turns out 

   in ways you 

never expected

The eighteen million women born in the first years of the baby boom grow up anticipating a life of rules-go to college, get married, have a family. But when the time came, the cultural, social and political tumult of the late 1960s catapulted them into options that no previous generation had even considered.

 The Women Who Broke All The Rules is the first book to celebrate the ordinary but extra ordinary women who made decisions that have changed every woman's life. Agains extreme odds and without role models, these women made  unprecendentedlife choices-in marriage, childbearing, education and work. By breaking every rule in the "good girl" hand book, they defined new ways for adult women to live.

You will recognize yourself, your family and your friends in these pages.

"I have often thought of myself and my friends  as traditional figures, more sure of where we were coming from than where we were going. Friends of mine have described our coming of age as being on the cusp of chance that fundamentally redefined the role of women."
