The acclaimed author explores the hidden crises of Gen X women in this “engaging hybrid of first-person confession, reportage [and] pop culture analysis” (The New Republic). Ada Calhoun was married with children and a good career—and yet she was miserable. She thought she had no right to complain until she realized how many other Generation X women felt the same way. What could be behind this troubling trend? To find out, Calhoun delved into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw that Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age—problems that were being largely overlooked. Calhoun spoke with women across America who were part of the generation raised to “have it all.” She found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. And instead of being heard, they were being told to lean in, take “me-time,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. In Why We Can’t Sleep, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament. She offers practical advice on how to ourselves out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them.

“On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist beautifully outlines . . . what it means to seek the truth. It gave me a new faith in the power of reporting.” —Oprah Winfrey The recipient of multiple Peabody and Murrow awards, Clarissa Ward is a world-renowned conflict reporter. In this strange age of crisis where there really is no front line, she has moved from one hot zone to the next. With multiple assignments in Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, and Afghanistan, Ward, who speaks seven languages, has been based in Baghdad, Beirut, Beijing, and Moscow. She has seen and documented the violent remaking of the world at close range. With her deep empathy, Ward finds a way to tell the hardest stories. On All Fronts is the riveting account of Ward’s singular career and of journalism in this age of extremism. Following a privileged but lonely childhood, Ward found her calling as an international war correspondent in the aftermath of 9/11. From her early days in the field, she was embedding with marines at the height of the Iraq War and reporting from the center of Israel’s war with Hezbollah. Soon she was soon on assignment all over the globe. From her multiple stints entrenched with Syrian rebels to her deep investigations into the Western extremists who are drawn to ISIS, Ward covered Bashar al-Assad’s reign of terror without fear and with courage and compassion. In 2018, Ward rose to new heights at CNN and became a mother. Suddenly, she was doing this hardest of jobs with a whole new perspective. On All Fronts is the unforgettable story of one extraordinary journalist—and of a changing world.

There’s a crisis going on with America’s girls and women. Unfortunately, no one in America is talking about it.Over the last sixty years as America has raised three generations of girls in feminist culture, they’ve been suffering in silence. While these girls were told by feminists that academic achievements and success in their careers would give them satisfaction, most of America’s women aren’t at peace with themselves today. Instead of having it all like feminists promised them, many are anxious. Others are depressed. And a few are despondent. In a world where womanhood has been redefined by feminism, many women aren’t feeling liberated or empowered anymore. Instead many are feeling so overwhelmed by the pressures to meet the standards of success established by feminists that they’re participating in self-destructive, violent, and criminal behaviors. And an increasing number are committing suicide. In this book I’ll detail the redefinition of womanhood and femininity by feminists has led to women being in crisis today. And how this growing crisis among America’s women could do damage to America’s civilization in the future.

For past few years, I have been mentoring women on business, realtionships, and personal development.The questions I have heard again and again are "If I have done my best as a mom, as a wife, entrepreneur, sister or daughter, then why is my life such a mess? Why am I feeling completely lost?"Society, our communities, and sometimes even our friends/family keep telling us who we're supposed to be. They tell us how we are supposed to act and even what we are supposed to look like. They constantly remind us of the urgent need to hustle, to be more successful, and to be "better" than everyone else. And if we cannot, we are failures.Those messages make us, the women who want to take control of our lives, feel drained, inadequate, tired and stressed out! Deep inside, we know we are strong, hardworking women. Yet, sometimes we don't feel like it. I have been through it all myself and became a much stronger person in the end. Knowing this, I knew I could help those in a similar situation. The lessons I learned along the way have been detailed in the pages ahead.This book will show you how to turn a mid-life crisis into a time period of self-discovery, a chance to gather your strengths, and to rise up to become the woman you were always meant to be. Maybe you have felt as if you were hiding from the world. Maybe you have felt like you were sleeping through the past few years of your life. Whatever you have gone through, it has only made you stronger. It's time to wake up and get back in the driver seat. Are you ready for the next chapter of your life? Your time has come.

Representing diverse cultural viewpoints, Muslim Women in War and Crisis collects an array of original essays that highlight the experiences and perspectives of Muslim women—their dreams and nightmares and their daily struggles—in times of tremendous social upheaval. Analyzing both how Muslim women have been represented and how they represent themselves, the authors draw on primary sources ranging from poetry and diaries to news reports and visual media. Topics include: Peacebrokers in Indonesia Exploitation in the Islamic Republic of Iran Chechen women rebels Fundamentalism in Afghanistan, from refugee camps to Kabul Memoirs of Bengali Muslim women The 7/7 London bombings, British Muslim women, and the media Also exploring such images in the United States, Spain, the former Yugoslavia, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, and Iraq, this collection offers a chorus of multidimensional voices that counter Islamophobia and destructive clichés. Encompassing the symbolic national and religious identities of Muslim women, this study goes beyond those facets to examine the realities of day-to-day existence in societies that seek scapegoats and do little to defend the victims of hate crimes. Enhancing their scholarly perspectives, many of the contributors (including the editor) have lived through the strife they analyze. This project taps into their firsthand experiences of war and deadly political oppression.
