- catalog abstract ""In Reunion, Elizabeth Fishel interweaves the story of the Brearley School class of 1968 with the history of a generation of American women born into tradition in the 1950s and engulfed by radical politics and social change in the 1960s and 1970s." "Beginning at the twenty-fifth reunion of her class, Fishel traces the lives of ten of her classmates of one of the nation's oldest and most renowned girls' schools. Nineteen sixty-eight was a watershed year - a year Time magazine said "shaped a generation"--And Reunion explores how each of that year's bright, privileged, famously situated, but often emotionally struggling graduates coped with the social upheavals of the sixties and the decades beyond." "Reunion looks at the contradictions in the lives of young women born into a traditional world of nonworking mothers and propelled into an environment of feminism, sexual liberation, and political radicalism. Fishel explores what happened to her classmates, particularly behind closed doors, to discover why so many women from her class didn't fare as well in life as women who graduated only five years later."--Jacket.".
