What Women Keep Silent About. How Midlife Crisis Affects Us and Why This is the Best Time for Change

Are you satisfied with your life? Are you sure you are living the way you truly want?
When Ada Calhoun turned 40, she was overwhelmed by deep despair, but she thought she had no right to complain. Ada was married, had two children, and a wonderful career. So why did she feel unhappy? Calhoun decided to find answers. She surveyed dozens of women her age, studied housing costs, labor trends, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: caught between boomers and millennials, Generation X women faced new challenges as they entered middle age, challenges that society largely ignored.
Talking with women of her generation, who were raised to believe they could "have it all," Calhoun found that most of them felt drained, scared, and overwhelmed. The author offers solutions on how to pull oneself out of the abyss of crisis and prevent the next generation of women from falling into it. The outcome is encouraging and empowering. This is essential reading for all women.
