      Dunn transcribes nine informal interviews she recorded with young women she happened to be near and around in the year 1964. They are friends across the class system, from factory worker Kathy to socialite Suna, with a particular eye to women marking themselves out creatively and against the odds. Dunn describes these women as sharing more than a common time and age; they've "severed themselves from some of the conventional forms of living and thinking."
