Book Review: Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories, 2nd Edition by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein

 


Positive Psychologist, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is back with another story for women that centers around love, relationships, sexual energy, and forging ahead into the future. 

Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories finds three friends--Gloria, Mary Beth, and Evelyn--rooming together in New York City in the fall of 1960. As they navigate college life and explore physical relationships with the men in their lives, their emotions are a mix of anxiety, excitement, fear, and wonder. As the story flows between past and present, the reader travels alongside these three women coming of age in a world that offers so much while still limiting their options. 

I had the pleasure of editing Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories. What I've always appreciated about Dr. Holstein's books is the high energy that she brings to her work, exhibited through engaging characters one enjoys getting to know. Drawing on her own experiences of coming of age in the 60s, Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories explores the fun and challenging aspects of college-age women living in New York City, having the freedom to love themselves, to find love with others, to immerse themselves in a diverse, fast-paced location, and to discover that all of life has a bit of mystery to it. 

If you're looking for a fascinating, quick read, pick up Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories.
