What Would Virginia Woolf Do?: And Other Questions I Ask Myself as I Attempt to Age Without Apology
What Would Virginia Woolf Do?: And Other Questions I Ask Myself as I Attempt to Age Without Apology | Nina Lorez Collins
8 posts | 1 read | 20 to read
When Nina Collins entered her forties she found herself awash in a sea of hormones. As symptoms of perimenopause set in, she began to fear losing her health, looks, sexuality, sense of humor-perhaps all at once. Craving a place to discuss her questions and concerns, and finding none, Nina started a Facebook group with the ironic name, "What Would Virginia Woolf Do?," which has grown exponentially into a place where women-most with strong opinions and fierce senses of humor--have surprisingly candid, lively, and intimate conversations.Mid-life is a time when women want to think about purpose, about how to be their best selves, and how to love themselves as they enter the second half of life. They yearn to acknowledge the nostalgia and sadness that comes with aging, but also want to revel in their hard-earned wisdom. Part memoir and part resource on everything from fashion and skincare to sex and surviving the empty nest, What Would Virginia Woolf Do? is a frank and intimate conversation mixed with anecdotes and honesty, wrapped up in a literary joke. It's also a destination, a place where readers can nestle in and see what happens when women feel comfortable enough to get real with each other: defy the shame that the culture often throws their way, find solace and laugh out loud, and revel in this new phase of life.

Highly recommend this “coming of age” book. For those starting menopause, living with a partner with menopause or just because. It would make a great Mother‘s Day gift, as it is laugh out loud funny in parts, but also has serious parts regarding heart health etc. ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Simply delish.

If you are in your late forties or early fifties, this book will resonate with you. Hilarious in spots. Orchids complements of SoFlo.
