A Different Woman

Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover first edition - New Dutton,, (1973). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. Howard, a former Life staff writer, spent two years crossing the United States and talking to hundreds of women from rural matriachs to housewives at a Tupperware party to a high-powered big city attorney and the result is a book that "celebrates life, not ideology. It is at once a brilliant kaleidoscopic portrait of the American woman's coming of age from the 1950s to the 1970s and the tender, witty impassioned autobiography of a girl from the Midwest, now one of the nation's best journalists, coming to terms with her own womanhood." 413 pp.
