Conversations: Connecting Generations of Women Karen Gutowsky

Publisher Marketing:"Conversations" brings women ages 20-80 through a journey of self-discovery, community and personal empowerment. The book's genesis is the result of an ongoing discussion between the co-authors over the course of twenty years. We started "Conversations" with four simple questions to women throughout the United States. The forms of communication included written, voice, and e-mail. What we found important was not the communication vehicles, but the questions, answers and advice resulting from these conversations. "Conversations" is a collection of thirty women's stories who participated in the dialogue. They talked about who they are, what they did right, what they would do over, and asked a question or two. So began the conversation. . . "you asked." . . "you answered." We contacted the women ten years later and have included those who responded in this collection. Women want other women's input into the daily happenings of their life and they want to know how other women tackled fears, joys and health issues. "Conversations" addresses the concerns of modern American Women of all ages, race and economics. "Conversations" shares common themes found in recent books: the quest for meaning, direction and clarity in one's life.
