Lifechanges: Creative Living and Transformation for Women

Joan Hatch Lennox. Crown Publishers, $17.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-517-57686-1

A mother-daughter team, both recent divorcees, here present a guide for women ``on the threshold of change.'' Using a combination of vignettes, exercises and suggested tasks intended to promote self-observation and awareness, they explore ways to alter one's life through a series of steps. Whether new directions are induced by divorce, death of a spouse, or by a desire to do something different, practical considerations such as housing, finances, education, relationships, etc., should influence decisions, stress Lennox, who teaches sociology and anthropology at Smith, and Shapiro, coauthor of Son of the Revolution. Inspirational and realistic, the guide will support women whose lives are in flux. (June)
