Paths to Fulfillment

How do women create fulfilling lives? This 35-year study of 26 women, randomly selected when they were graduating from college in the early 1970s, explores how they created new forms of identity for themselves. Paths to Fulfillment challenges stereotyped views of women's lives and shows how work, love and care are all intertwined.

Ruthellen Josselson is a psychologist and Professor of Psychology at Fielding Graduate University.
