Two young women besieged by the demands of mothers, lovers, and careers-not to mention a highly persistent telephone answering machine-as they struggle to have it all. A brilliant feminist art historian trying to keep her bearings and her sense of humor on the elevator ride from the radical sixties to the heartless eighties.
