Women's Work

I found these workbooks from the early 80's at my present job. They were exercises for students nearing high school graduation to help them think through their next steps. The students were supposed to read the story and then reflect on their own lives, writing out key pieces of the plot using the new 'power words' they'd learned, and then reflecting on what they think they'd do.

Jean's plight caught my eye. Along with her raging cool corduroy coat and that neat little neck bow. The workbook is titled The Last Goodbye, part of the Breaking Away series. Cue the swelling strings.
