Many women assume that midlife marks the end of their most powerful period, when their sexual intensity, emotional vitality, and persuasiveness was at its peak. Not so, shows author Susan Schachterle in this warm, funny, and gorgeously written book. Using incidents from history, case histories from her counselling work, stories from her life, and examples from her corporate and non-profit consulting career, she shows that midlife in fact represents a time when women's sexuality, wisdom, and power can come into full bloom. Schachterle describes three archetypes that guide women's unfoldment after midlife. The Bitch is a woman who can make things happen. The Crone is the repository of hard-won wisdom and experience. And the Harlot gives herself time to absorb the beauty around her-as well as revelling in her deep store of sexual knowledge. For a generation of women who are healthier, wealthier, and more attuned to their spiritual fulfilment, this book engages the heart and the senses to offer a grand new image of the rich possibilities available to women at midlife.
