The memoir of one who grew up in Pittsburgh during the Depression and in Swarthmore near Philadelphia during World War II. Her upbringing was influenced by both eras. The marketing of prophylactic devices to discourage or defer pregnancy and the rise of child psychology were in their infancy, just in time to give women the freedom their mothers and grandmothers lacked.
