reviewed The Next Fifty Years: A Guide for Women at Mid-Life and Beyond on December 30, 2011
The Next Fifty Years
It's fairly comprehensive but it's too New-Agey for me. It wasn't very useful to me--I already do many of the things suggested or have sorted out some of the questions addressed. Nice to see that I'm doing better than I thought but I would like to read something with more concrete advice. As an example of what I mean, the discussion on women becoming invisible seems to conclude that it is our own choice to be visible or to fade into the background but when I have experienced servers or clerks ignoring me (and speaking to my daughter, instead) , it's hard to imagine that it is my own choice.
