As they burned off the “Barbie stage” and grew into more important things down their lives. Like for example Smiley talks about her older daughter, “Now she is planning to graduate school and law school and become an expert on woman’s health issues, perhaps adolescent health issues like anorexia and bulimia” (377).

Within a short period of time employers started opening doors to women as workers and the number of working women jumped 10%. For the first time women were being hired as clerks on the NY Stock Exchange and one Midwest Publisher hiring women admitted, “ We never would have done this before the Pill” (Gibbs 7).

Avoidant children often have rejecting parents, which leads to them developing an internal model which makes them think they are unacceptable and unworthy. The continuity hypothesis provides an explanation for why these early experience which lead to certain attachment types go on to affect relationships in adult life, as attachment type remains fairly stable over a lifetime.
