Been There, Done That #778900

A young woman wants more in life than is being offered as she reaches maturity. Always daring, outspoken and adventurous, she dreams of life beyond her neighborhood and the people she grew up with. The late 1950s and early 1960s rarely offered opportunities to women wishing to reach out and grab a piece of life. Even something as simple as traveling from one state to another, required that they be either chaperoned by a man, or herded into a group like cows. 

Funny, painful, and at times, incredible, you will find yourself travelling with her, as she makes an escape from a boring switchboard operator's job at a neighborhood bank, to travel for 24 years around the world
