On March 27, 2003, Michael Collins Chaput set out from his retirement home in Sedona, AZ for a mid day hike. It was on that beautiful afternoon that he suddenly and without warning left this world, leaving behind a loving wife and five grown daughters. Months after his untimely death, a collection of letters written by him was found. The majority of the letters were sent to his mother, whom he referred to as Maude, and span the years of 1988 to 1994. These letters detail his life in a small Iowa town, working as an anesthesiologist, and raising a family together with his wife. These letters and others, including one entitled Letters of Life which he wrote as a legacy to his daughters, make up the text of this book. They were discovered and believed to be a gift for the loved ones he left behind.
Although formal barriers to women's social and political participation have crumbled, society remains, to a significant degree, gendered in the roles that women and men play. Women's and men's choices regarding work and family are largely responsible for maintaining and reinforcing the differences. While feminists recognize the need to criticize women's choices, too often they focus on restrictive conditions rather than the choices themselves. Kimberly A. Yuracko argues instead that encouraging women to make choices in accordance with a grounded and well-defined conception of perfectionism -- a philosopy concerned with human flourishing -- is the most effective way to redress persistent gender inequality. To this end, Yuracko seeks not only to expose the perfectionism underlying current choice critiques, but to articulate a concrete set of feminist perfectionist principles that would improve the quality of individual women's lives and improve the social standing of women as a whole.
