description: Respectable wife, unmarried mother, divorcee, femme fatale...These were roles that society demanded from women like Scarlet, Jocelyn, Helen, Susan and Audrey, roles that, if they were truthful, they assigned to themselves - most of the time.But things have a way of not slotting neatly into pigeonholes and, as they negotiate around the births, deaths, dramas, and disappointments that litter their lives, they discover slowly and surely their real selves.
