Their accounts of the August raid and the ensuing negative publicity that affected their personal lives and careers were quite consistent. Only one woman was with a man who was not a BAYS member.Īn interesting pattern we noted was that, with only two exceptions, these women preferred to live alone, so the couples owned separate apartments.Īll these women were passionately engaged in their work and highly motivated in their chosen professions as artist, actor, television producer, computer technician, salesperson, etc. Two were with men they had known since childhood when their parents brought them to play together during the BAYS meetings. These women all had long term boyfriends, partners, or husbands (except for one woman whose life partner had recently died). Only one woman had wanted to have children but was unable to conceive due to a health problem. One woman said, “I have always put my career first, lived with boyfriends, never married and now I am very involved with my niece and her children.”Īnother woman told us about how she was planning to freeze her eggs so she could be a mother after she turned 40.
