dc.description.abstract	This qualitative study examines the effects a patriarchal society has on women's development as it relates to self-esteem, creative autonomy and success. Six women, who wanted to explore the topic of inquiry, were interviewed one time. The structured interviews were designed with open-ended questions to allow the participants to explore their perceptions in these areas. The women were found to develop more completely in the areas of self-esteem, creative autonomy and success "while in relationship" with significant others. As a result, the study suggests the need for the Self-In-Relation Theory to be the new model that supports women's need to be relational. This study further suggests that men and women enter into a "partnership" so that both may learn to appreciate the special nuances they bring to relationships.
