| Abstract | This book shares insights from a diverse group of first-wave Baby Boomer female professionals (born 1946-1956), providing a model for reflection to help women understand who they are, their strengths and interests, and what they want to do as next steps when they leave their full-time careers. It offers stories from women of a range of ethnic and geographic backgrounds, professions, and employment statuses as well as races, sexual orientations, and marital statuses. |
