Synopsis:
Red Hot Mamas is Colette Dowling's name for women who are discovering new freedom and vitality at midlife. Could you be one? Are you in the midst of redefining your family responsibilities, changing your job or career, wondering how to approach the menopause, remaking your most important relationships?
There are many choices at this time of life, and Colette Dowling has investigated the lives of a large number of women on the threshold of fifty to find out what the key dilemmas are – and how women are dealing with them. Bracingly honest about her own midlife challenges too, she provides a rich and honest exploration of subjects like career change, sexual fulfilment, hormone replacement, money and the lack of it, new marriages, older parents, departing children and the art of being happy alone.
If you are wondering about the shape your life might take after fifty, 'Red Hot Mamas' will give you the information and encouragement you need to refocus your energies and make the most of the time ahead of you. Think of it as a new beginning.
Today's women in their 50s are better educated, more independent, more economically stable and more involved in public life than women this age have ever been before. They are the first to enter this stage of their lives with a sense of real freedom and opportunity, and a spirit of adventure. Society has traditionally seen them as women who have lost their looks, their purpose and their presence. But these women today, free of their children - and sometimes of their husbands! - are redifining the age of the menopause and stating firmly that a woman's life does not go into decline after 50. This book is designed to provide essential information which women need to make the most of their lives. Both a handbook and a starting point for more discussion, it draws on medical and scientific data, social theories and studies of mid-adulthoood and its effects on women.
