Necessary
Dreams: Ambition in Women's Changing Lives
Despite the huge advances women have made in recent decades, their
ambitions are still undermined in subtle ways. Parents, teachers,
bosses, and institutions all give less encouragement to women than men,
and women still grow up believing that they must defer to men in order
be seen as feminine. If their ambition does survive into adulthood, too
often those ambitions must be downsized or abandoned to accommodate
"wifely" duties of household chores and child care. As a result, women
-- unlike men –- continually have to re-shape their goals and
expectations. Yet expressing ambition, pursuing it, and getting
recognition for one’s accomplishments is critical to identity
and happiness. In this groundbreaking work, the author draws
on extensive research and years of her psychiatriac practice to offer
an original and deeply useful examination of ambition in
women’s lives. In the process, she illuminates just what is
necessary for women to articulate -- and fulfill -- their dreams.
