Small Changes

In the sixties the world seemed to be making big changes – but for many women it was the small changes that were the hardest and the most profound.

On the surface Beth and Miriam were as different as two women could be. Shy and unsure of herself, Beth married her high-school sweetheart as soon as she had finished school.

Aggressively intelligent and sensual, Miriam was determined to have an education and a career as well as a man. But both of them had been raised with images of how men and women were supposed to be. Both of them wanted love… expected it to fulfil them … expected it to last.
