Abstract
The initial and final sand scenes of 10 women, 5 identified as “Home Women” and 5 as “Career Women,” are presented and discussed. Home women (median age 40) were married and not employed outside the home. Career women (median age 30) were active in helping professions and not married. Comparisons: Initial scenes of the two groups show marked differences in assertiveness and aggression, with the career women being more aggressive and home women more passive. Final scenes of both groups show more balance and wholeness. Discussion of the psychology of women in the 1970s, which was when these women were seen, is included.
