Broken Patterns is a nonfiction book that places modern professional women in
historical context, in relation to their mothers and grandmothers. It shows that
while many of today's career women did not want lives like their mothers, many did emulate
their grandmothers, who were working women early in the twentieth century. Broken
Patterns lays out a spiral pattern in women's individual, generational and historical
development, and explains the spiral as a psychological and practical response to rapid
social and technological change.
