Over the past few decades, women have been leaving marriages in
increasing numbers. Although there has been a significant amount of
research on the negative effects of separation and divorce,
particularly in regard to children, there has been little
exploration in to the reasons why women leave. Divorce continues to
be an unpopular subject in a society that privileges the
institution of marriage and couples. This book explores women's
real lived experiences of separation and divorce, how they navigate
through the process, and how they respond to societal pressures and
expectations. By utilizing feminist, developmental, and analytical
frameworks, the author highlights the growth and healing process as
it occurs for women at midlife, shedding light on some of the
bigger questions and issues related to separation and divorce, and
situating it within the larger social, cultural and political
context. This book is particularly useful for professionals working
with and supporting midlife women as well as for any woman who is
seeking understanding and reassurance during this very important
transition in her life.
