Charlotte's Way

A Woman's Path Through Changing Times

By: Charlotte Bacon Ripley Sorenson

Narrated by: Charlotte Sorenson

In Charlotte's Way: A Woman's Path Through Changing Times, Charlotte Bacon Ripley Sorenson describes her 80-year life journey as a witness to and participant in the enormous cultural and technological changes that have impacted society in general and women in particular during her lifetime. From the pre-television era to the era of artificial intelligence; from a time when professional choices for women were severely limited to a time when women leaders are found in all professions, Charlotte's story is at once uniquely her own and very much all of ours.

Joyfully open to adventure and diverse cultures and drawing from her experience living and traveling widely both in Europe and in Asia, Charlotte skillfully interweaves family anecdotes and spiritual and philosophical reflections with social, political, and historical facts and observations. She writes with sensitivity, gusto, curiosity, and humor, placing intimate details and thoughtful insights in a broad context. Her descriptions of the natural world and our shared responsibility to the planet are thoughtful and vivid.

Enjoyable, enlightening, and entertaining

Charlotte's way is a compelling story of a woman's intellectual and spiritual journey over the changing decades. Her interweaving of history made her story feel like real life. Throughout her journey, she's kept her family first in her allotment of time and fullness of heart. Her story brings life to the struggle between raising a good family and a woman finding herself in an often male-dominated world.
I didn't expect to like the book and listened to it because I know Bud and Charlotte. To my surprise, a book, that on the surface was a "chick book", helped me understand women. I highly recommend this book to males and females alike.
