Bestselling Author Dr Barbara Becker Holstein Announces Two New Books, Three Industry Awards For New Film, I Had An Affair With My Husband


Dr. Holstein, an internationally known Positive Psychologist, is the creator of The Enchanted Self ®, a positive psychology method for happiness, and is a pioneer in Selfies as Film.

Bestselling author and award-winning film maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has announced her latest film, I Had An Affair With My Husband, has received 3 new awards. The awards were bestowed by the Mei International Film Festival, The Los Angeles Short Film Awards And the Singapore Film and Script Festival

A special screening of the film was held July 1, 2026 at Basie Center Cinemas Theatre in Red Bank, NJ and opened to rave reviews, due to the film's clever and emotionally rewarding premise.

The story explores a unique and humorous dynamic between a married couple. The wife finds herself falling in love with a new voice her husband has developed, which leads to an improved intimate life but also triggers intense jealousy in the husband toward his own voice. The narrative follows their journey as they navigate these unusual feelings, eventually seeking help from a therapist to address the disconnect between the husband's persona and this new "identity."

Ultimately, the couple reaches an honest understanding. They realize that while the voice is a fantasy they can occasionally enjoy—and perhaps even expand upon with other personas—their real love for one another remains the foundation of their relationship.

The film is a lighthearted romp that uses an unusual scenario to explore real themes of honesty and fantasy within a marriage.

The film will be released later in 2026.

“We are excited about this film as it explores many facets of marriage in a way that is not only funny but can inform people about the many aspects of having a partner,” Holstein stated. “In fact, many people have been suggesting we develop this film into a series that continues to present issues that couples deal with in interesting and humorous ways. Both my husband and I look forward to developing it as a series.”

She also announced two new books, now available in print form on Amazon.

The King of the Numbers is a children's book that stresses the importance of the number zero. While zero can mean nothing, it is also one of the most important numbers, as when paired with other numbers, it greatly increases the value of the paired number. This gives Zero, the hero of the story, his well-deserved reputation as the King of numbers,

The second book, Poetry by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, was penned by Dr. Holstein as a young person during a fragile and exciting period in her life. In her words, "poetry tells us in a few words what we feel and see often in our lives that we don't really know how to put into words."

“I wrote the first drafts many years ago,” she said, “and then put them aside. Recently I decided to make them public.”

Both books are now available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U.

Dr. Holstein is known for wrapping Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

Six bestselling, award-winning books (perfect for school libraries)

Four self-esteem workbooks for girls 8 and up

Award-winning films and coming of age selfie films

Podcasts

Dedicated websites

Stage plays

A library of articles

Ted-style talks

As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had. The book is based on the experiences of the already famous “girl” from 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween' and 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', and achieved bestseller status in the multi-generational families category.

Dr. Holstein’s latest workbook for kids, ‘Secrets’ achieved bestseller status in the ‘Teen & Young Adult Nonfiction on Depression’ category.

Dr. Holstein's cutting-edge presentations, most recently based on the Covid-19 pandemic issues, can be found on both YouTube, Vimeo and on the Roku channel and Amazon Fire TV, titled as 'The Enchanted Self Presents'.

Dr. Holstein created The Selfie Showcase, a new project emerging from The Selfie Project, that allows young people to voice their opinions on subjects that matter to young people, including the pandemic.

The Selfie Showcase allows kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie videos or films around important subjects using a smartphone. Dr. Holstein's mission is to help rectify, in several ways, some issues young people face by giving them a chance to engage with others in meaningful ways about the anxiety and stress they must grapple with constantly.

A special screening of the film will be held July 1 in Redbank, NJ. Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, will be available at no charge in ebook form June 28 and 29, 2026 at Amazon.

Bestselling author and award-winning film maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has announced a special screening for her new film, I Had An Affair With My Husband. The screening will be free and open to the public and will be held Wednesday July 1 at 6 pm at Basie Center Cinemas Theatre, 36 White Street, Red Bank, NJ.

The story explores a unique and humorous dynamic between a married couple. The wife finds herself falling in love with a new voice her husband has developed, which leads to an improved intimate life but also triggers intense jealousy in the husband toward his own voice. The narrative follows their journey as they navigate these unusual feelings, eventually seeking help from a therapist to address the disconnect between the husband's persona and this new "identity."

Ultimately, the couple reaches an honest understanding. They realize that while the voice is a fantasy they can occasionally enjoy—and perhaps even expand upon with other personas—their real love for one another remains the foundation of their relationship.

The film is a lighthearted romp that uses an unusual scenario to explore real themes of honesty and fantasy within a marriage.

"Both myself and my husband, Dr. Russell Holstein are very excited about the film," Dr. Holstein stated, "The film developed in our minds as we found ourselves reacting to some things that happened to ourselves. Without giving the plot away let me just say that the story that developed was one that we lived through. We were the patients in real life that had to work through what we felt. As psychologists we ended up believing that there are many facets to romance that are difficult but also can be fun and amazing. And this is so important as most people in a relationship really hope it can work.

"This film makes clear how some amount of confusion can also lead to fun and challenges that can be handled. In fact, get ready to laugh your way through this film. It is funny and reveals how some of life's romantic difficulties can be handled and better understood."

The film will be released in late June, 2026.

In Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, 2nd Edition, Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein explores the struggles and desires of young women in the 1960s: the complexities of sexuality, identity, and self-discovery.

In this compelling book, Dr. Holstein introduces readers to three college students navigating the intricacies of their sexual energies and the paths to their futures. Their journeys are a mirror to the experiences of women throughout history, highlighting the universal longings and challenges that have shaped previous generations.

The Baby Boomer Generation Unlocked The Doors to Freedom Says Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Author Of Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities


Women's Freedom, The Dawn Of Possibilities, will be available at no charge in ebook form May 15, 2026 at Amazon.

We should give credit where credit is due. The Boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964, started a profound grass-roots revolution that transformed our society. This group, the grandparents and great-grandparents of today, shattered glass ceilings, enabling women to advance in education, politics, and the workplace. As a result, women began to ascend to high-ranking positions in government and make lasting contributions across an array of professions.

During those years, the bravery of leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy inspired a generation. Their visions were not mere dreams—they instead demanded our attention and action.

Yet, in today's polarized climate, there are concerns that women may be at risk of losing some of those rights for which the Boomer generation fought so hard. Ironically, the term “Boomer” can sometimes morph into a punchline, often suggesting a disconnect from contemporary realities.

But who were these women really? What did they look like? What were their concerns? What was it about their day to day lives and experiences that propelled them to create and then embrace the freedoms that women enjoy today?

That time period is the subject of Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's latest book, 'Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities' available at no charge in ebook form May 15 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

In this engaging book, the lives of two young women, Madison and Ginger, take center stage. As they prepare to embark on their college journey in the fall of 1960, they are filled with excitement and anticipation to leave their homes behind and embark upon new adventures. From moments of heartfelt laughter to deep, unsettling fear, and everything in between—this story is filled with romance, mystery, and a dash of nostalgia that will evoke a whirlwind of emotions.

The backdrop of historical events and cultural shifts serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities these young women faced, offering a blend of humor, challenge, and romance. With limited resources and support, Madison and Ginger navigate a landscape where pregnancy often meant grappling with heart-wrenching decisions, from motherhood to adoption and beyond. It is an unforgettable journey filled with thrilling twists, and endearing friendships.

In the first book in this series, 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories', Holstein turns back the clock to the 1960s, introducing readers to three young college women at a pivotal moment in both their personal lives and the history of women’s rights. Through their experiences—marked by sexual awakening, identity struggles, and the pursuit of purpose—Holstein captures the emotional and psychological terrain that defined a generation.

What do their stories reveal? Although the cultural landscape continues to change today, the fundamental yearnings for autonomy, love, and self-expression endure as timeless and unwavering truths. Their journeys mirror the collective experiences of women across decades, making this novel not only deeply moving but profoundly resonant.

More information on both books is available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

Dr. Holstein is known for wrapping Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

The Female Baby Boomer Generation Shaped Women's Rights Gains Says Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Author Of Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities


Women's Freedom, The Dawn Of Possibilities, will be available at no charge in ebook form April 14 and 15, 2026 at Amazon.

Female baby boomers may be the grandmothers of today, but we should never forget that this group played a crucial role in the advancement of women's rights. As they entered the male dominated workforce and higher education in greater numbers than previous generations, they challenged traditional gender roles and expectations. New influential organizations such as the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966 marked a significant turning point, as these women campaigned for equal pay, reproductive rights, and access to education. These women bravely confronted systemic discrimination, leading to pivotal changes in legislation, including the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Title IX Amendment in 1972.

That time period is the subject of Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's latest book, 'Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities' available at no charge in ebook form April 15 and 16 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

Women's Freedom, The Dawn Of Possibilities, will be available at no charge in ebook form March 23 and 24, 2026 at Amazon.

Sadly, women today find themselves at risk of losing some of the rights secured by the brave efforts of their forerunners in the 1960s. We remember the prominent leaders of that era, including Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, Angela Davis, Bella Abzug, and many others. Not only these leaders, but all women of that era embarked upon a timeless quest for independence and freedom.

That time period is the subject of Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's latest book, 'Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities' available at no charge in ebook form March 23 and 24 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

Bestselling Author, Film Maker And Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein Announces Ebook Giveaway For Women's Freedom, Upcoming Release Of New Film


In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope in covering the challenges girls really face, regarding things that are important to them regardless of their stage of development.

Bestselling author and award-winning film maker Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has announced a new ebook giveaway and the upcoming release of a new film.

Her best-selling novel, 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories,' will be available at no charge in e-book form on January 31 through February 1, 2026. In this book, Holstein explores the struggles and desires of young women in the 1960s. She introduces readers to three college students navigating the intricacies of their energies and the paths to their futures. Their journeys are a mirror to the experiences of women throughout history, highlighting the universal longings and challenges that have shaped previous generations.

Readers may find themselves reflecting on their own rights, needs, and the societal influences that have shaped their perceptions. Her insightful exploration of emotional growth will captivate, challenge, and ultimately empower readers. She reminds readers that fair treatment and understanding are the keys to a future filled with self-discovery, emotional growth and sense of gratitude for those who helped create the freedom women enjoy today.

She has also announced the release of a new film to be released this year. The film, 'I Had an Affair with My Husband,' will be available early 2026. The film demonstrates that fantasy and romance can play important roles in creating a relationship that will last.

In this new film, Laura and Larry are a typical married couple. They are not looking to split, but married life can be boring without a lot of laughter and maybe even a bit of mischief. That is all about to change when Larry accidentally becomes just the man Laura adores. In fact she adores him much more than the old Larry. That leads to lots of problems and lots of fun.

"When my husband and I realized we were beginning to live our lives entrenched in new- found pleasures of being married to each other we realized we had better get this down in written form. We are both psychologists and felt a responsibility to explore what we were now living. And so the story was written down. And later the story was written once again as a script. and still later it was written once again as a movie script. And here we are older, perhaps wiser, with a film in production. It should be out in about two months.

"We thought readers might enjoy seeing us, seniors obviously and also see the two stars who have taken our places in the film world of imagination and truth.

"This film is so important for several reasons. One is that fantasy and romance and play are very important aspects of marriages that last. We were shocked when we found ourselves behaving as if we had become other people. But being psychologists we began to realize that we were just adding fun and pleasure to our daily lives. That said, we also realized as psychologists that our game of play could get out of control.

"In this film you will see the two actors, Justin L. Wilson and Jessica Miano Kruel, live out both the bad and the good, the fun and the fury of allowing oneself to take on a new persona. The film is fun and yet serious. It has a plot that viewers will take home and will think about. Viewers may try to create new personas, or may laugh at what they see and leave it at that.

"Meanwhile my husband and I still go into our alternate personalities once in a rare moon and then come out. Life is full of fun if it is not abused yet marriages and relationships can become very stale. This film is a great example of a relationship that carries on through the ups and downs of life."

Bestselling Author, Selfie Film Maker And Positive Psychologist Barbara Becker Holstein Announces New Film, New Interview With Author Mitch Abrams For Building Resilience And Self Esteem Podcast


In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope covering the challenges girls face, without sugar coating it or downplaying the feelings or passions they experience regarding things that are important to them.

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, author of the recent bestselling ebook 'Women's Freedom: The Dawn of Possibilities', has announced the upcoming release of a new film, 'I Had An Affair With My Husband'.

In this new film, Laura and Larry are a typical married couple. They are not looking to split, but married life can be boring without a lot of laughter and maybe even a bit of mischief. That is all about to change when Larry accidentally becomes just the man Laura adores. In fact she adores him much more than the old Larry. That leads to lots of problems and lots of fun.

Dr. Barbara and Dr. Russell Holstein have been in practice as psychologists for many years in Long Branch, New Jersey. During that time Dr. Barbara focused on women's mental health and women’s potential through her writings, books, podcasts, and her "selfie filmmaking", which included coming of age films for tweens, teens and their parents. Dr Russell developed his specialty in research that led to exploring the world of insurance and how it affects adequate care in terms of mental health access. His articles and research have brought to the public the limitations in adequate care going on daily in the mental health arena.

Sometimes the right moment that could make a great story just happens in life. That's what happened to the two doctors. They were on vacation and ended up with a stranger entering their lives. The rest is history and a great story. It is also a story that people can relate to as boredom and the seven-year itch are real aspects of marriage and relationships.

Once the Holsteins realized they were living a solution that had some odd side effects they decided to write their story. That led to turning their story into a film script and finally a film. Their first film has just been completed and is about to be edited. 'I Had An Affair With My Husband' will be released in early 2026.

Dr Holstein also announced a new interview available at her Building Resilience And Self Esteem with author Mitch Abrams. Dr. Abrams is a sport, clinical and forensic psychologist with over 25 years experience in the field. “The” expert in anger management in sport, he has carved a niche as the voice of reason when it comes to normalizing and then harnessing anger to achieve peak performance in life, achieving goals, setting new records, and optimizing relationships. The interview is available at her website at https://www.enchantedself.com/resilience-self-esteem-podcast/.

Women's Rights In Danger Of Being Lost: Bestselling Author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Announces New Book, Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities


In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope in covering the challenges girls really face, without sugar coating it or downplaying the feelings or passions young girls experience, regarding things that are important to them at this stage of their development.

Today, women are in danger of losing some of the rights granted them through the valiant efforts of women in the 1960s. We are all familiar with the names of women who were the leaders in those movements: Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, Angela Davis, Bella Abzug and many more. But what was life really like for the "Boomers" in the 60s? That is the subject of Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's latest book, 'Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities'.

In this book, the lives of two young women, Madison and Ginger, take center stage. As they prepare to embark on their college journey in the fall of 1960, they are filled with excitement and anticipation to leave their homes behind for a myriad of personal reasons. From moments of heartfelt laughter to deep, unsettling fear, and everything in between—these pages are filled with romance, mystery, and a dash of nostalgia that will evoke a whirlwind of emotions.

The backdrop of historical events and cultural shifts serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities these young women faced, offering a blend of humor, challenge, and romance. With limited resources and support, Madison and Ginger navigate a landscape where pregnancy often meant grappling with heart-wrenching decisions, from motherhood to adoption and beyond. It is an unforgettable journey filled with thrilling twists, endearing friendships, and the timeless quest for independence.

In the first book in this series, 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories', Holstein turns back the clock to the 1960s, introducing readers to three young college women at a pivotal moment in both their personal lives and the history of women’s rights. Through their experiences—marked by sexual awakening, identity struggles, and the pursuit of purpose—Holstein captures the emotional and psychological terrain that defined a generation.

What do their stories reveal? That while the cultural landscape may evolve, the core desires for autonomy, love, and self-expression remain timeless. Their journeys mirror the collective experiences of women across decades, making this novel not only deeply moving but profoundly resonant.

'Women's Freedom: The Dawn Of Possibilities' will be available at no charge in ebook form on the following dates:

November 30
December 6
December 9
December 16
December 21

'Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories' will be available at no charge in ebook form on the following dates:

December 8
December 15
December 22

More information on both books is available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

Women's Rights In Danger Of Being Lost: Bestselling Author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's New Book, Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories Available At No Charge In Ebook Form


In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope in covering the challenges girls really face, without sugar coating it or downplaying the feelings or passions young girls experience, regarding things that are important to them at this stage of their development.

Are we witnessing the alarming unraveling of women’s hard-won rights? In today’s heated political climate, many are increasingly concerned that the strides women have made since the 1950s could soon be reversed. The relentless quest for equality, sparked by the Baby Boomer generation, seems to be entering a precarious and unpredictable new chapter. This is a moment that demands our attention and action.

The power to build one's life in any way one chooses lies at the heart of Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, the latest novel by bestselling author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein. In a powerful blend of fiction and historical reflection, Holstein revisits the era where it all began. The ebook version will be available at no charge at Amazon October 28 and 29th at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

The feminist movements of the 1960s and 70s challenged the status quo, opening doors that had long been closed. Women began to assert themselves in every sphere—education, the workforce, and eventually, the halls of power. By the 21st century, they had not only shattered glass ceilings but redefined them, ascending to leadership roles once deemed unattainable.

In Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, Holstein turns back the clock to the 1960s, introducing readers to three young college women at a pivotal moment in both their personal lives and the history of women’s rights. Through their experiences—marked by sexual awakening, identity struggles, and the pursuit of purpose—Holstein captures the emotional and psychological terrain that defined a generation.

What do their stories reveal? That while the cultural landscape may evolve, the core desires for autonomy, love, and self-expression remain timeless. Their journeys mirror the collective experiences of women across decades, making this novel not only deeply moving but profoundly resonant.

Dr. Holstein has also announced a new book, 'Women's Freedom, The Dawn Of Possibilities'.

"This is a story about two young women coming of age in the 1960s," Dr. Holstein stated. "They live together as roommates, attending college in the city. They stay together as lifelong friends. They find themselves in love and out of love, happy and miserable, scared and confident. They fall into some mysteries they can’t solve, and some they can figure out. They reach for the stars, sometimes settling for less and sometimes grabbing more. I don’t think you will ever forget them, since you will see glimmers of yourself in these pages. Enjoy their successes and their failures. Some of the people they meet, and the things that happen to them, are funny and strange and sure to remind you of moments in your own exploration of life."

Women's Freedom, The Dawn Of Possibilities, will be available in late 2025.

Dr. Holstein is known for wrapping Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

Four bestselling, award-winning books (perfect for school libraries)

Women's Freedom: Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Author Of Women's Freedom, Interviews NYT Bestselling Author Gwen Strauss, Announces New Ebook Download


In the interview, Dr. Holstein discussed Strauss' bestselling book, 'The Nine'. She also announced a no-charge download of her own bestseller, 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories' on September 22 at Amazon. 

Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein recently interviewed NYT Bestselling Author Gwen Strauss about her historical fiction novel, 'The Nine: The True Story of a Band of Women Who Survived the Worst of Nazi Germany.' She also announced that the ebook version of 'Women's Freedom: Unfinished Love Stories' will be available September 22, 2025 at no charge at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

The Wall Street Journal called The Nine "[A] narrative of unfathomable courage". 'The Nine' follows the true story of the author’s great aunt Hélène Podliasky, who led a band of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris.

The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbrück. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war, forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape.

Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative from Gwen Strauss is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times.

The interview with Strauss is available at Dr. Holstein's website at https://www.enchantedself.com/enchanted-self-returns/.

The no-charge download of the ebook version of 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, will take place September 22, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

From 1960 to the present day, the role of women in society has undergone a dramatic transformation. In the early 60s, women were often confined to domestic spaces, their aspirations curtailed by rigid societal norms. But change was on the horizon.

The feminist movements of the 1960s and 70s challenged the status quo, opening doors that had long been closed. Women began to assert themselves in every sphere—education, the workforce, and eventually, the halls of power. By the 21st century, they had not only shattered glass ceilings but redefined them, ascending to leadership roles once deemed unattainable.

The fight is far from over—and stories like Holstein’s serve as powerful reminders of how far we’ve come, and how much remains unfinished.

In 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories', Holstein turns back the clock to the 1960s, introducing readers to three young college women at a pivotal moment in both their personal lives and the history of women’s rights. Through their experiences—marked by awakening, identity struggles, and the pursuit of purpose—Holstein captures the emotional and psychological terrain that defined a generation.

What do their stories reveal? That while the cultural landscape may evolve, the core desires for autonomy, love, and self-expression remain timeless. Their journeys mirror the collective experiences of women across decades, making this novel not only deeply moving but profoundly resonant.

As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had.

Women's Rights In Danger Of Being Lost: Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories By Bestselling Author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Available At No Charge In Ebook Form


In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope in covering the challenges girls really face, without sugar coating it or downplaying the feelings or passions young girls experience, regarding things that are important to them at this stage of their development.

Are we on the verge of seeing women's hard-won rights begin to unravel? In today’s charged political atmosphere, many fear that the progress women have made since the 1950s is once again under threat. The long, arduous fight for equality—ignited by the Boomer generation—may be entering a new and uncertain chapter.

This concern lies at the heart of Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, the latest novel by bestselling author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein. In a powerful blend of fiction and historical reflection, Holstein revisits the era where it all began. The ebook version will be available at no charge at Amazon August 7 and August 8 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

From 1960 to the present day, the role of women in society has undergone a dramatic transformation. In the early 60s, women were often confined to domestic spaces, their aspirations curtailed by rigid societal norms. But change was on the horizon.

The feminist movements of the 1960s and 70s challenged the status quo, opening doors that had long been closed. Women began to assert themselves in every sphere—education, the workforce, and eventually, the halls of power. By the 21st century, they had not only shattered glass ceilings but redefined them, ascending to leadership roles once deemed unattainable.

The fight is far from over—and stories like Holstein’s serve as powerful reminders of how far we’ve come, and how much remains unfinished.

In Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories, Holstein turns back the clock to the 1960s, introducing readers to three young college women at a pivotal moment in both their personal lives and the history of women’s rights. Through their experiences—marked by sexual awakening, identity struggles, and the pursuit of purpose—Holstein captures the emotional and psychological terrain that defined a generation.

What do their stories reveal? That while the cultural landscape may evolve, the core desires for autonomy, love, and self-expression remain timeless. Their journeys mirror the collective experiences of women across decades, making this novel not only deeply moving but profoundly resonant.

Dr. Holstein wraps Positive Psychology concepts in forms of media that people find engaging, relatable and inspiring. These include:

Four bestselling, award-winning books (perfect for school libraries)

Four self-esteem workbooks for girls 8 and up

Award-winning films and coming of age selfie films

Podcasts

Dedicated websites

Stage plays

A library of articles

Ted-style talks

As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had. The book is based on the experiences of the already famous “girl” from 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween' and 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', and achieved bestseller status in the multi-generational families category.

Eye Opening Book For Female Boomers: Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories By Bestselling Author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein Available At No Charge In Ebook Form


In the tradition of authors like Judy Blume, Dr. Holstein pushes the envelope in covering the challenges girls really face, without sugar coating it or downplaying the feelings or passions young girls experience, regarding things that are important to them at this stage of their development.

From 1960 to the present, women's roles have evolved significantly. In the 60s, societal norms often confined women to traditional roles as homemakers and caregivers. However, the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s began to challenge these norms and women began to see real progress.

In the years following women made notable strides in education, politics, and the workplace. By the 21st century, women had become CEOs of major corporations, held high-ranking positions in government, and made significant contributions to various professions. The #MeToo movement and ongoing advocacy for gender equality continue to this day, ensuring that the conversation about women's rights remains at the forefront of societal progress.

It was a long and difficult fight. That is the subject of bestselling author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein's latest book, 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories', available in ebook form at no charge June 9, June 10, June 16 and June 17 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.

In this highly engaging work of fiction, Holstein explores the struggles and desires of young women in the 1960s: the complexities of sexuality, identity, and self-discovery. She introduces readers to three college students navigating the intricacies of their sexual energies and the paths to their futures. Their journeys are a mirror to the experiences of women throughout history, highlighting the universal longings and challenges that have shaped previous generations.

"This book speaks the truth," Dr. Holstein stated. Of course a lot of books do so. Women's issues have been important since we all lived in caves. So were men's issues. The women tried to keep babies alive and the men tried to protect their loved ones and kill the beasts. That probably worked ok for a few million years. But in the last few thousand years it was better to usually be a man. You inherited from your parents, your sister's didn't . You might die in warfare but you wouldn't die at the stake for being a healer who understood plants and herbs and could keep people alive.

"Fast forward to the 1960s. Anxiety and fear followed most young women as they made their way into new worlds of opportunity and progress. This book is the story of 3 of those girls. Maybe your grandmother was like them, or an older friend in your family who had the courage to become a scientist or a professor. Reading this book will amaze you as these young women fight anxiety and confusion and desire every day of their college life, as they try to reach for the stars and handle their own longings. It was hard to be a young woman in the sixties. I know - I was one of them. We need to understand their stories so we can help women now and in the future to have more courage and less anxiety and fear.

"Readers may find themselves reflecting on their own rights, needs, and the societal influences that have shaped their perceptions. 'Women's Freedom' will awaken readers to some of these important issues and reminds us that fair treatment and understanding are the keys to a future filled with self-discovery, emotional growth and sense of gratitude for those who helped create the freedom women enjoy today."

The ebook version of 'Women's Freedom, Unfinished Love Stories' will be available at no charge June 9, June 10, June 16 and June 17 at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Barbara-Becker-Holstein/author/B001JXEZ8U?.
