Description: Paths to Fulfillment : Women's Search for Meaning and Identity, Hardcover by Josselson, Ruthellen, ISBN 0190250399, ISBN-13 9780190250393, Brand New, Free shipping in the US How do women create fulfilling lives? How does the identity they choose (or not choose) by the end of their college career affect how their lives unfold? For 35 years, Ruthellen Josselson has followed 25 randomly selected women who graduated from college in the early 1970s. Because these women
came of age at this particular time in history, they were the trailblazers in creating new possibilities for womens lives by taking up meaningful roles in the work world. These "real" women, in contrast to the stereotypes of the time, took on the challenge in very different ways and championed very
different lives for themselves.

In Paths to Fulfillment: Womens Search for Meaning and Identity, Josselson traces the stages of these womens lives and the ways in which identity, intimacy, and care for others over time leads to fulfillment, or in some cases, a lack of fulfillment. She examines the complexity of the relationship
between a womans roots, her efforts to create a unique life for herself, and how others become part of identity. Josselson examines individual lives in depth for clues to understanding the strengths that help a woman to find fulfillment, and how in generativity becomes an anchor for meaningful
identity as lives unfold.

With remarkable clarity and insight, Josselson challenges simplistic generalizations about women, and shows how work, love, and care are all intertwined in a womans sense of identity.
