Más información sobre el libro

Virginia Woolf introduced us to the “Angel in the House,” and now we encounter a different narrative. Women today have unprecedented choices, yet many smart, ambitious individuals feel angry, dissatisfied, and stressed. This collection of essays by twenty-six women writers, aged twenty-four to sixty-five, explores these feelings and the choices they've made. With humor and honesty, they invite readers into their lives to discuss what’s working and what’s not. Topics include the challenges of relationships, the balance between love and work, and the complexities of family dynamics. Contributors candidly address issues like co-parenting myths, the pressures of traditional roles, and the frustrations of dealing with partners and societal expectations. They express anger over various issues, from body image to generational conflicts with their mothers. Cathi Hanauer notes that “this book was born out of anger,” yet it ultimately offers an intimate sharing of experiences that will resonate with readers. This collection serves as a vital companion for students navigating modern feminism, showcasing the collective voice of successful women today in all their anger, grace, and glory.
