Many people helped produce this book. First, I want to thank the researchers of the Research Network who have taken the plunge and followed their own inquiries. I particularly want to thank Antigone Barton, Joan Blankmann, Susan Erno, Diane Foucar-Szocki, and Martha Gilchrist for the use of their stories.

I also would like to thank Marcie Boucouvalas, Karen Cook, Jean Frey, Lennox McLendon, and JoAnne Wray for reading the manuscript and offering advice.

Joyce Krech pulled my loose notes into the finished form now before you and gave me valuable editing help. Every writer should have such a good friend and co-worker to read a manuscript before it "goes public"!

Mostly, I want to thank Hanna Fingeret - my first, and best, research teacher.
