Abstract

This chapter presents an existential-phenomenological study of, specifically, Latin American women's experience of feeling able to move toward and accomplish a meaningful and challenging goal. The purpose of the study was threefold: (1) to elucidate the experience being investigated, (2) to add to the literature exploring women's consciousness, and (3) to study the psychology of women who have had this experience, as well as the psychology of women in Latin America.
