Single Woman of a Certain Age 29 Women Writers on the Unmarried Midlife - Romantic Escapades, Heavy Petting, Empty Nests, Shifting Shapes And Serene Independence

In "Single Woman of a Certain Age, Jane Ganahl assembles a chorus of sophisticated, edgy, and humorous voices who tackle the topic of being unmarried and in one's prime. Chronicling the (mostly) ups and (sometimes) downs of the chronically 39, these writers address the challenges and rewards of growing older as a single woman: sex, loneliness, motherhood, learning to live alone (and happily), financial struggles or blossoming careers, menopause, and more. With infectious humor and emotional honesty, these essays show how women learn to come into their own, bucking the realities of how society treats the older female who's alone. Swinging between desperation and optimism, bad moods and good grace, the 25 contributions here range from the mild to the wild, the glamorous to the mundane, each expressing the gifts and travails of going solo, whether chosen or forced.Ganahl, Jane is the author of 'Single Woman of a Certain Age 29 Women Writers on the Unmarried Midlife - Romantic Escapades, Heavy Petting, Empty Nests, Shifting Shapes And Serene Independence', published 2005 under ISBN 9781930722583 and ISBN 1930722583.
