TWENTY YEARS AGO SHE SHOWED A GENERATION HOW TO SOAR IN FEAR OF FLYING
Now, Erica Jong looks back-and ahead-to assess the costs, the rewards, and the meaning of that journey for all of us.
Raised to be Doris Day, but wanting to be Gloria Steinem, today's women are raising their own daughters in the daunting age of Madonna and Princess Di. Jong calls hers the "whiplash generation," because they have had their expectations raised and dashed with such alarming frequency, and seen their popularity rise and fall like hemlines. Addressing those difficulties and so much more with her unique vision and wit, Jong looks to the second half of life for answers, and offers her provocative and brilliant insights on a host of issues of passionate interest to all women, including: sex, marriage, and aging; feminism- past, present, and future; the writing life; motherhood and family; identity and love, loyalty, and loss.
Sure to be embraced by women everywhere, Fear of Fifty is destined, like its classic predecessor, Fear of Flying, to become required reading.
