Using data from the NLSY79 and NLSY97, we document variation in pathways to adulthood within and between two cohorts of American women. We take a holistic perspective in studying historical change in women's life courses, and aim to further sociological understanding of contemporary pathways from youth to adulthood, including implications for life outcomes and inequality among women completing the transition by way of uncommon paths.
