Summary The women anthropologists in this book speak frankly about their challenges and successes as they navigated the tensions in their personal and professional lives-- marriage, raising children, caring for families, publishing, conducting research, going into the field, teaching, and mentoring-- during the volatile period when the roles and expectations for women were being constantly reestablished and repositioned.
