Jane Seymour Book:

Editorial Review:
The absorbing companion to the landmark Women of Crisis: Lives of Struggle and Hope unfurls the lives of five American women. Among them are an advertising executive who scrabbled to the top and now questions whether she wants children; a "smart girl" in fifth grade who loses some of her spark with age; and a Pueblo woman who fears--and wishes for--the chance to leapfrog beyond the life her family approves. Caught in the headlights are the civil rights struggle and more mundane skirmishes with family, loved ones, and society that seem awfully familiar.
