Produktinformationen "Woman of a Certain Age"
It's a natty little euphemism, isn't it? Of a certain age. A flow of words so undergirded by conventional politesse that it's entirely possible a woman coined it herself. Vague enough to be gentle enough. But the ambiguity cuts both ways. You can't describe what you don't even take the time to notice. And as any woman past the age of none of your business will attest, the first horseman is invisibility. Woman of a Certain Age does what other books fail to (or choose not to) accomplish-it takes the time to investigate the perspectives of women whose lives are in flux. Hertenstein gilds no lily, cushions no reckoning, pulls no punch. --Jill Alexander Essbaum, author of NY Times BESTSELLER, Hausfrau Whether young or old, the moniker "of a certain age" hangs over many women, reinforcing the idea of never enough. Either too old or too young, women of a certain age live in a nether land of in between. They must navigate worlds projected upon them and of their own invention. Woman of a Certain Age is a hybrid story collection centered around women of all ages journeying to discover who they are.
