Discovering the security of selfhood

"My purpose is not to knock the joys of love

and the rewards of marriage of living with a man.

I am happily married. I...feel that

a good, solid, profound relationship with a man

is something to which a woman might well

aspire-but not to the exclusion of all else,

not at the expense of her selfhood.

The purpose of this book is to help women find

out what 'all else' os, to develop

'selfhood',' to feel good about themselves

as people>, and to get the most

out of their professional, social, and personal

lives-without overreliance on men...."
