Nell Frizzell is calling this period of flux "the panic years," and it is often characterized by a preoccupation with one major question: should I have a baby? And from there--do I want a baby? With whom should I have a baby? How will I know when I'm ready? Decisions made during this period suddenly take on more weight, as questions of love, career, friendship, fertility, and family clash together while peers begin the process of coupling and breeding. But this very important process is rarely written or talked about beyond the clicheÌs of the "ticking clock." Enter Frizzell, our comforting guide, who uses personal stories from her own experiences in the panic years to illuminate the larger social and cultural trends, and gives voice to the uncertainty, confusion, and urgency that tends to characterize this time of life." -- Amazon.com. 520 $a "In The Panic Years, renowned journalist Nell Frizzell explores what happens when a woman begins to ask herself: "Should I have a baby...?""-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Frizzell, Nell. 650 0 $a Motherhood. 650 0 $a Human reproduction $x Age factors. 650 0 $a Work and family. 650 0 $a Single women $x Psychology. 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C799BF78673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
