Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Kaltreider was one of only four women in Harvard Medical School's Class of 1964. She is no stranger to the Dilemmas of a Double Life, to the challenges of balancing competing priorities in order to engage in the love AND the work that Freud defined as essential for fulfilment. But Freud was referring to men, of course, in advance of the gender role expansion whereby women's traditional imperatives have been unprecedentedly elasticized: not until our time have women enjoyed so much access to education and opportunity in the first half of life and so many options for reinventing themselves in the second half.
