Women: One Man’s Journey
One man's cumulative experience of the influential women with whom he shared his life.
Women: One Man's Journey is the long view of a man's cumulative experience of the various women with whom he shared his life and were instrumental in making him the man he became---not exclusively, since his life and character have been constituted from many internal and environmental influences brought out in the autobiography. Yet, in this, the last quintile of the author's life, his relationship with women appears to be the single, most dominant external factor. And who would dispute the importance of mothers, wives, girlfriends, sexual drives, social expectations, or the dynamic terms of emotional, economic and social contracts on the lives of men and on which women also depend? The author professes no special authoritativeness as a lawyer, psychologist, or marriage counsellor. His goal is to provide insight into his experience for the reader to unpack. In the end, he hopes this memoir will contribute to more comity between men and women.
