Because she was a girl, she would be molded to fulfill a role that had long been defined for her: to be obedient, coy, and self-effacing--and forever secondary to men. The free-spirited, independent nature Marcia demonstrated as a child slowly eroded, unable to overcome the powerful influence of societal expectations and the autocratic rule of the men in her most women of the time, Marcia dutifully succumbed to what she came to think of as Training to be just a girl. She married, had two children, and became the typical helpmate to a patriarchal husband. And yet...she could never quite silence a nagging inner voice that said life could offer her so much more than a supporting This Place beautifully recounts Marcia's remarkable journey as she breaks the chains of Training and struggle to find the person within. It is a story that will inspire both women and men to follow one's own path--no matter how bumpy--and inevitably arrive at that place that is uniquely their own.
