When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis,
she thought that she had no right to complain. 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 their issues 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.
According to the popular press in the mid twentieth century,
American women, in a misguided attempt to act like men in work and
leisure, were drinking more. "Lady Lushes" were becoming a
widespread social phenomenon. From the glamorous hard-drinking
flapper of the 1920s to the disgraced and alcoholic wife and mother
played by Lee Remick in the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses,"
alcohol consumption by American women has been seen as both a
prerogative and as a threat to health, happiness, and the social
order. In Lady Lushes, medical historian Michelle L. McClellan
traces the story of the female alcoholic from the late-nineteenth
through the twentieth century. She draws on a range of sources to
demonstrate the persistence of the belief that alcohol use is
antithetical to an idealized feminine role, particularly one that
glorifies motherhood. Lady Lushes offers a fresh perspective on the
importance of gender role ideology in the formation of medical
knowledge and authority.
