As women we are constantly evolving. Changing attitudes toward our gender have accommodated many, but not all. Still we are told it is progress. In the 1968 Virginia Slims cigarette commercial, we were told “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Just where do we stand now? Holton strives to answer this question through the intensive study she conducted over years of research, interviews with women from all 50 states, and analysis. A copy of the survey allows the reader to respond to the same questions.
“ In responding to Holton’s queries, this cross-section of American women expressed a variety of social attitudes, but were united in their anxieties over job security, healthcare, and the overall state of America (66.8% said they were “very concerned” about “where the nation is headed”). ..As a source of rich primary data, this account will interest readers curious about the issues affecting American women.”
Publisher’s Weekly review says
We Dwell in Possibilities by Carlotta G. Holton provides a venue to give a written voice to a gathering of women. It is a stimulating read reflecting how women from different walks of life have a wide range of experiences even though they share the same general concerns. The results uncovered by the accomplished author's survey will at times intrigue the reader, at other times bring tears to their eyes, and still other times delight them!
