Abstract
This article reports on an hermeneutic interpretive study of letters 18 women wrote to each other annually for 25 years, from 1968 to 1993. Six themes related to personal success and achieve- ment emerged from readings and systematic study of this set of more than 250 letters. The stories in these letters connect the private and public worlds; they communicate the events experienced, things hoped for, and things not done.
