" Middle age used to be a
waiting room;
Now, it's a supermarket."

--Dr. Jean Marmoreo

THE NEW MIDDLE AGES WOMEN IN MIDLIFE 

It’s time for a new take on middle age.With six million Canadian women now between 40 and 65, being female and middle aged is no longer a stage of life to be silent and invisible about. 

Indeed, it’s a time to stand up, speak up and even leap up.That’s what Jean Marmoreo thinks. Her new view on midlife is drawn from 25 years in the examining room as a privileged witness to the crucible of her patient’s lives. Gritty, honest, and empowering, The New Middle Ages does in print what good friends do all the time: share their stories in hopes that they’ll tap into each other’s knowledge, advice, comfort and strength.

Canadian women today are juggling more demands than ever: their careers, their kids, parents, partners, personal fulfillment – and the endless struggle to find time to manage it all.

But as the author says: “You can’t have it all, all the time. And that’s okay.”

The New Middle Ages is filled with the insights and compassion to navigate the middle years.
