With their achievements in business, the professions, politics, and the arts, women in their middle years are demolishing the traditional role imposed on them. Rights of Passage shows how you, too, can avoid being frozen in the past by using your experience as a foundation for changing and growing in the present and future. There is no law of the universe that makes women useless in the very middle of their lives. On the contrary, you'll find that new challenges and choices combined with the wisdom of maturity create an infusion of energy that makes your midyears the most stimulating and productive time of your life. Elinor Lenz shows you how to harness this energy to deal with such critical issues of midlife as: supporting still-dependent children while meeting the needs of aging parents, facing the empty nest when the children leave home, and coping with age discrimination when you want to expand or change your career. Rights of Passage offers advice on how to work with a changing marriage, accepting each other's changes and growing into a new, more mature relationship. You'll also find counsel about your sexuality and menopause and your health in general. By showing you how to break through myths and misinformation about middle age, this ground-breaking book will help you cast off the masks and pretensions of your younger self and you'll discover that you don't have to be "on" all the time and you don't have to waste your energy on activities that are meaningless to you or give pieces of your life to people who are marginal to your existence. You'll see how the midlife passage can lead to satisfying relationships with both sexes, how you can enjoy friendships with men instead of playing games, how you can get more pleasure out of a new friend or a new accomplishment than a new car. You'll find ways to balance work, family, and friends, and to keep your mind active and your body in go
