She switched her focus from genetics to adult development, talked to Levinson and two other researchers with strikingly similar findings, U.C.L.A.

Says Roger Kennedy, terminal manager for a grocery wholesaler: "We've been reluctant to hire women because the job involves unloading heavy cases at Ma and Pa grocers.
