A HIGHLY NUANCED PORTRAIT, in every shade of gray, of individual women negotiating the transitions of what Levinson calls early adulthood *ages 18 to 45. *The New York Times Book Review Nearly twenty years ago, esteemed Yale psychologist Daniel J. Levinson wrote the groundbreaking classic, The Seasons of a Mans Life, which became the stimulus for a revolution in thinking about life passages, helping thousands of men make sense of their own lives. Now it is womens turn. Based on exhaustive interviews with a diverse group of forty-five women, The Seasons of a Womans Life completes and substantiates Levinsons thesis: that all human beings go right on developing throughout their lives in a pattern of amazing inevitability. Firmly grounded in original scientific research, The Seasons of a Womans Life is unusual in being not only vividly readable but a rich source of insights and consolation. It speaks with uncanny directness to the dreams, emotional crises, inexplicable feelings, social conflicts, and psychological upheavals that mark each womans life course. Every woman will recognize *and find comfort in recognizing *the deep shape of her own life in the pattern it outlines, from Early Adult Transition (ages 17 to 22) to the Mid-life Transition (ages 40 to 45) and beyond. Alive with the voices of real women, perceptive and sympathetic, this book is destined *like its predecessor *to become a classic. AFFIRMING AND ILLUMINATING . . . PSYCHOLOGICALLY RICH. *San Jose Mercury News HELPFUL AND ENLIGHTENING. *Booklist GROUNDBREAKING. *Feminist Bookstore NewsAbout the Author:Daniel J. Levinson, a psychologist, was one of the founders of the field of positive adult development. Levinsons two most prominent publications were his series of books entitled, The Seasons of a Mans Life and The Seasons of a Womans Life. Although controversy surrounds his publications, both books remain promising and highly influential within the field of psychology. Levinson died in 1994 shortly after finishing The Seasons of a Womans Life which was then published in 1996.
