Abstract
This study identifies the early conditions of successful adults by an historical analysis of psychological traits and childhood environments of 38 notable twentieth century American women writers. The sample was derived from Sicherman and Green's (1980) biographies of 442 notable American women in over 50 fields of accomplishment. We rated multiple traits and conditions representing cognitive, affective, familial, and educational aspects of the sample. The results focus on the degree of persistence of the traits in essayists compared to the other notable women, and provide a developmental model of human potential.
