Once, not so long ago- only 50 years- the sky was falling.
-
A corrosive war,
-
Political division, with violence always simmering just under the surface,
-
Economic upheaval that left some behind while others thrived,
-
Rapidly changing gender roles that freed some and left some bewildered,
-
The fight for reproductive rights,
-
Racial unrest and the demand for greater civil rights,
-
A generation gap that left young and old believing in different worlds…
Sound familiar?
These issues continue to echo through our lives today.
The sky is always falling.
American women’s lives in the 1970s were very different from ours today in some ways. And yet, they were much the same.
Just like us, the hippies, back-to-the-landers, and other fascinating, ordinary women of the 70s made choices that changed the world.
My historical fiction explores how women craft meaningful lives in complicated times.
Come with me for inspiration, determination,
and some fabulous 70s fun and funk.
