EXPERTS SAY BROKEN PATTERNS IS:

"A splendid study of professional women--their current dilemmas and choices, as well as an eye-opening history of working women." --Margot Adler, National Public Radio

"A giant step forward in our understanding of women’s issues around work and how they relate to the mother-daughter relationship. Broken Patterns offers a highly sophisticated historical, social, political and psychological perspective that is new and enlightening." --Irene Pierce Stiver, Harvard Medical School; Wellesley College.

"I loved this book...and am very grateful for the historical and sociological context within which [Harris] understands both the patterns...and the individual struggles of professional women." --Natalie Sokoloff, John Jay College, CUNY.

"A fascinating and provocative look at the real lives of American women in a time of change. A good read as well as good research."--Caryl Rivers, Boston University

"Informative, readable, thought-provoking."--Marcia Jacobson, Auburn University

" Anita Harris writes like a genius about values, about career development, about the human heart. If you woke up this morning thinking careers are linear events whose success is measured by money, status and power, read this book. In it, you will learn that self-respect, quality of life, and the possibilities for self-expression are the fuel for a future where you can flourish." --Robert J. Ginn, former director of career services, Harvard University; author, 21st Century Careermaking.
