It has become virtually a truism that we need to study the other half of our population, the lives of women as well as the lives of men, and to study them from the female's vantage point, not as subjects for scrutiny exclusively by males... Dr Joyce has undertaken the life history of a remarkable woman whom she has named, for purposes of her narrative and study, Sarah Flynn Penfield. Five generations of Sarah's family and her husband's have lived within the same radius of three miles in southeastern Ohio. The changes - economic, demographic, and cultural - that have occurred in the region since the family settled there in the mid nineteenth century have been paralleled by changing patters within the family itself. Through them all, Sarah has maintained the traditional patterns that were instilled by her parents and grandparents and have since been emulated by her children and perhaps will be again by her grandchildren. --- excerpt from book's dustjacket
