In the 1950's most women stayed home and cared for the family. Her basic "profession" was wife and mother. Her choices were few as you would picture her as a "June Cleaver". Time has moved forward and so have women. There are many professions that women hold in today's world. It isn't simply because she wants to work. It has become a necessity for her to. With the number of broken homes in the world these days a woman has to make it. There is no limit to what women can do. They hold the same jobs as men do and they do those jobs well. What would the best profession for a woman be though?

Let's not even call it that. Let's call it a passion for reading because that is what it truly is. To walk in the shadows of great novelists such as Mark Twain or Emily Bronte would be an amazing feat.

To create such beauty and amazement that stands the test of time would, no doubt, be the greatest accomplishment that a person could achieve. Becoming an author of an American Classic would complete my lifelong goal. The hope of this writer is that there are many other women who share this very passion with her. It could be anything from a child's first book to the greatest novel ever written. It doesn't
