"Forty and confused" content introduction

When Ada Calhoun found herself in the middle of a midlife crisis, she didn't think she had the right to complain. She is married and has a good career. Why do you still feel bad? Why do other Gen X women (meaning those born between 1965 and 1980) seem to be suffering the same way?

Calhoun decided to find out. After speaking to more than 200 women from different professional backgrounds and families across the United States about their experiences, she found that most were exhausted and worried about money and the future.

In this book, Calhoun combines a wealth of cases with social changes, cultural analysis, and economic statistics to comprehensively discuss the crises that middle-aged women encounter in health, money, career, and family, revealing the cultural and social factors after women's midlife crisis, and seeking solutions.
