This chapter examines in detail the process notes of the Yale Longitudinal Study (YLS). The process notes, amounting to thousands of pages, were the result of sessions between the young girl Evelyn and Samuel Ritvo. The chapter focuses on Evelyn's awakening interest in how her status as a female related to the male-dominated social hierarchy that she encountered at each stage of her development. Evelyn's transcripts are an unusually rich source of information about child development at the time the YLS was undertaken. Ritvo and members of the Yale Child Study Center made contemporaneous observations of Evelyn's therapy from 1954 to 1963.
