Waar gaat het over?
Renowned journalist Nell Frizzell explores what happens when a woman begins to ask herself: should I have a baby?
We have descriptors for many periods of lifeadolescence, menopause, mid-life crisis, quarter-life crisisbut there is a period of profound change that many women face, often in their late twenties to early forties, that does not yet have a name.
Nell Frizzell is calling this period of flux the panic years, and it is often characterized by a preoccupation with one major question: should I have a baby? And from theredo I want a baby? With whom should I have a baby? How will I know when Im ready?
Decisions made during this period suddenly take on more weight, as questions of love, career, friendship, fertility, and family clash together while peers begin the process of coupling and breeding. But this very important process is rarely written or talked about beyond the clichés of the ticking clock.
Enter Frizzell, our comforting guide, who uses personal stories from her own experiences in the panic years to illuminate the larger social and cultural trends, and gives voice to the uncertainty, confusion, and urgency that tends to characterize this time of life.
Frizzell reminds us that we are not alone in this, and encourages us to share our experiences and those of the women around usas she does with honesty and vulnerability in these pages. Raw and hilarious, The Panic Years is an arm around the shoulder for every woman trying to navigate lifes big decisions against the backdrop of the mother of all questions.
