Portraits of Change is a deep, intimate look at the powerful impact
of the women's movement and the widespread social upheaval of the
1960s and 1970s on women's lives. The author follows four
generations of women in her family from the turn of the last
century to the present as they came of age, married, divorced, and
grew old. Enduring parallels and family patterns tying one
generation to the next were overwhelmed by the many differences
erupting from the changes that swept through this country at
mid-century. The changes were so vast, so powerful, that her
grandmothers' experiences of marriage, sex, work, motherhood,
divorce, and aging bore little resemblance to her mother's or her
own. Yet on the most personal levels they dreamed the same dreams,
suffered the same disappointments, and shared the same joys. In
each generation they responded to the constraints and freedoms that
would shape the next, not thinking their reactions would lead to
unanticipated and often painful consequences for themselves, their
daughters, and those who loved them. Relying on interviews
conducted almost thirty years ago with her grandmothers as well as
her own experiences and those of her mother and daughters, Mary
White Stewart looks with unerring honesty at these lives and
wonders at both the hard-earned freedoms and the painful,
unanticipated consequences of rapid, historic change.
