This book focuses on the misogyny faced by middle-aged women and argues that the stigma against middle-aged women affects all women. It interrupts the inheritance of knowledge. We find ourselves having to repeat the same old lessons that our mothers learned over and over again because we have not passed on what we have learned. The aging of our appearance, the changes in our bodies, the hot flashes of menopause, the fear of death, the unpaid work that is not seen, we are bound by these anxieties and fears. Removing the stigma against middle-aged women is to accept, look forward to, and celebrate our future selves.
本书集中讲述了中年女性所面临的厌女, 并提出对中年女性的污名化影响了所有女性, 它中断了知识的传承, 我们发现自己不得不一遍又一遍地重复学习母亲们所学过的旧课程, 因为我们没有传递我们所学到的东西。容貌的衰老、身体的变化、更年期的潮热、死亡的恐惧、不被看见的无酬工作, 我们被这些焦虑与恐惧所束缚, 去掉对中年女性的污名化, 就是对接纳、期待、赞美未来的自己。
