The Bitch Is Back
The Bitch Is Back: Older, Wiser, and (Getting) Happier | Cathi Hanauer
More than a decade after the New York Times bestselling anthology The Bitch in the House spoke up loud and clear for a generation of young woman, nine of the original contributors are backalong with sixteen captivating new voicessharing their ruminations from an older, stronger, and wiser perspective about love, sex, work, family, independence, body-image, health, and aging: the critical flash points of womens lives today. "Born out of anger," the essays in The Bitch in the House chronicled the face of womanhood at the beginning of a new millennium. Now those funny, smart, passionate contributorstoday less bitter and resentful, and more confident, competent, and contentcapture the spirit of postfeminism in this equally provocative, illuminating, and compelling companion anthology. Having aged into their forties, fifties, and sixties, these "bitches"bestselling authors, renowned journalists, and critically acclaimed novelistsare back . . . and better than ever. In The Bitch Is Back, Cathi Hanauer, Kate Christensen, Sarah Crichton, Debora Spar, Ann Hood, Veronica Chambers, and nineteen other women offer unique views on womanhood and feminism today. Some of the "original bitches" (OBs) revisit their earlier essays to reflect on their previous selves. All reveal how their lives have changed in the intervening yearswhether they stayed coupled, left marriages, or had affairs; developed cancer or other physical challenges; coped with partners who strayed, died, or remained faithful; became full-time wage earners or homemakers; opened up their marriages; remained childless or became parents; or experienced other meaningful life transitions. As a "new wave" of feminists begins to take center stage, this powerful, timely collection sheds a much-needed light on both past and present, offering understanding, compassion, and wisdom for modern womens lives, all the while pointing toward the exciting possibilities of tomorrow.

I haven't been on much lately but I want to change that. I've had some health challenges to start the new year so my reading goals have been slow going. My new bookish tradition might be to not make a TBR for January and December because I'm usually distracted by all the planning. I'm not doing any challenges this year other than to read through some series and finish all my books I have acquired here on Litsy. Good to be back! 😘📚 #Serial2019

I finally made it into another of my little city's indie bookstores on Thursday. I was passing by and had all of fifteen minutes to spend there. I'm a quick shopper! And I'm also positive I need to go back with lots more time. It looks amazing. #dogstarbooks #forthesiriusreader #getindie #bookhaul #happybibliophage

Tnovo Looks like a read I would like. 👍 thanks for sharing your purchases 😁 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Tnovo I love sharing! And seeing other people's books. I wouldn't have bought any of these without other people telling me about them. 📚❤ 8y

#TBRtemptation post. Gift-wrapper edition. While at B&N yesterday, @BookBabe and I had a couple things wrapped by the wonderful volunteers (and, of course, made a donation to their cause). One of the ladies had this on the table next to her, and she let me snap a pic of it. She said she, "I ove it, love it, love it! They speak to me, & they make me laugh out loud all the time." From her mouth to my ears to your eyes. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

JSW Omg!!! I remember reading the first one and the male version - both excellent. Will have to look this up. 8y
KellyK One of my picks for the #LitsyAtoZ challenge for 2017. 8y
