Roslyn Brown is a fictiti-

real, and is shared by many
women forced to look for
outside work after years as
full-time homemakers.
"I met my husband when I
was 17, married at 19 and
had my first child before I
was 21," she said. "I didn't
go to college and the only
time I worked was when I
finished high school and
had a job as a receptionist-
typist.
"I knew I wanted a career,
not just a job, but I didn't
know where to start.to get
my life structured again,"
Mrs. Brown said.
Some friends told her
about Jewish Vocational
Service. "I feel as if I owe my
life to Mrs. Stewart," she
said of Gail Stewart, the
JVS counselor who helped
her define her goals and
prepare to achieve them:-
"Roslyn owes her life to
herself," said Mrs. Stewart.
"She worked very hard to
get where she is now."

examination on the part of
