Inventing Ourselves Again

Women Face Middle Age

By: Janis Fisher Chan

is book is a conversation between women. As a generation, we began talking to one another in the turbulent 60s and 70s. Our trust in each other grew and we held nothing back. Now, we talk about the learning, the fears, the frustrations, and the joys of aging. Inventing Ourselves Again is like sitting in on a conversation with friends. Educated, articulate women examine ideas and feelings common to all American women at the end of the 20th century. It reads the way women talk to each other over lunch, on a long walk, during an afternoon at the beach. Join this circle of friends.)
