She 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? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, 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. Speaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to "have it all," Calhoun found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. Instead of being heard, they were told instead to lean in, take "me-time," or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. In Why We Can't Sleep, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X's predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss--and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Middle-aged women $z United States $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Midlife crisis $z United States. 650 0 $a Generation X $z United States $x Economic conditions. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print nonfiction series. 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022917.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022505.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063543.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210504010815.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20210428014518.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210203010644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=467B480A65EE11EBAAA0DAE85DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
