Barbara Gardner, a medical researcher, teacher, and mother of two grown daughters, dispenses wisdom and counsel in this book. Chapters include information on topics such as health, finances, career, emotional health, and women’s place in society. From practical tips to thought-provoking discussion, Gardner weaves her own life experiences into the narrative. She encourages all women to take a yearly "audit" of all aspects of their lives. To this end, each chapter concludes with questions for an audit on the topic. Bibliographic notes and an index complete the book.
