Summary

Calhoun was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Looking into data, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked. Here Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X's predicament, offering solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss-- and keep the next generation of women from falling in. -- adapted from back cover
