Levinson's theory suggests that women's development tends to differ from men's in that they are less likely to have a mentor than men and their "dream" tends to be more focused on the needs of others. Additionally, women often experience a conflict between their desire for personal achievement and their societal role as caretakers. Women also tend to make the middle adult transition later in life, often in their 60's, as they may shift their focus to retirement or other interests after their children have grown.
