Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The phrase midlife crisis today conjures up images of male indulgence and irresponsibilityan affluent, middleaged man speeding off in a red sports car with a woman half his agebut before it become a gendered clich, it gained traction as a feminist concept. Journalist Gail Sheehy used the term to describe a midlife period when both men and women might reassess their choices and seek a change in life. Sheehys definition challenged the double standard of middle agewhere aging is advantageous to men and detrimental to womenby viewing midlife as an opportunity rather than a crisis. Widely popular in the United States and internationally, the term was quickly appropriated by psychological and psychiatric experts and redefined as a malecentered, masculinist concept.The first booklength history of this controversial concept, Susanne Schmidts Midlife Crisis recounts the surprising origin story of the midlife debate and traces its movement from popular culture into academia. Schmidts engaging narrative telling of the feminist constructionand ensuing antifeminist backlashof the midlife crisis illuminates a lost legacy of feminist thought, shedding important new light on the history of gender and American social science in the 1970s and beyond.
