Articoli correlati a Flying Solo: Single Women in Midlife
Unmarried at 40-could there be anything worse? Our culture dictates that women who have failed to catch or hold the golden ring of marriage are destined to be deprived and depressed, perhaps even dangerous. Add the burden of age and you have a woman headed for disaster. Not necessarily so, say the authors of Flying Solo, who talked with never-married, divorced, and widowed women in midlife across the country. These women's stories offer blueprints for living, as well as inspiration, for other women "flying solo."
Most of these women did not intend to be single at midlife. Yet they have given up the dream of "happily ever after" to create lives on their own that are rich and rewarding. The authors share these women's stories as well as their practical advice on managing the mechanics of being single, transforming loneliness, redefining the place of work, developing friendship and support networks, living with and without intimacy and sex with men, and choosing to have and raise children. In the process they define not just a new American lifestyle but a new American Dream.

Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: New. First Edition, 3rd Printing. BRAND NEW copy. Softcover/Fine. Interviews with single women throughout the United States --- unmarried at forty, never married nor divorced, and, with or without children. Most interviewed did not consciously plan on being single. Indeed, they had accepted the "marriage and mother-hood" lot culture dictated, but Prince Charming either failed to appear and/or they found the demands of marriage unattractive. Note the term "spinster" never evoked similar imagery as its counterpart, "bachelor"; "amazons" is far more appealing. Given a modern landscape littered with connubial fatalities, meanings associated with age-old words ought to be re-examined. "Flying Solo" can be a far more complete & satisfying way of life than imagined. Will a rise in bachelorhood follow and more men fly solo? 309 pgs, 20 chapters in 6 sections: 1, Taking Off: The Dilemma of Automatic Pilot & Excess Baggage; 2, Journeys without a Map; 3, Midlife: Charting a New Course; 4, The Problem of Men; 5, The Question of Children; and 6, Challenges & Triumphs of Flying Solo.
