Women's History Month: Author Pat Auspos, "Breaking Conventions"
Pat Auspos discusses her work "Breaking Conventions: Five Couples in Search of Marriage-Career Balance at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century." The book tells the intimate stories of five marriages that defied social norms and supported two careers– hers and his – more than 100 years ago, when well-to-do white women were not supposed to have careers, and career women were not supposed to marry.
