author:  Jo Ann Larsen 
description: Jo Ann Larsen teams up with veteran cartoonist Artemus Cole to offer a lively prescription for stress and guilt. There's a collection of stress relievers for every kind of '90s woman defined by the author: the Caretaker, the Guilt Sponge, the Juggler, the Perfectionist, the Pleaser, and the Depleted Woman. Women can gain a better perception of self as they recognize themselves in these nuggets of advice.
