"No one wants to read about old women," an advisor told Dr. Lucy Ryan, which spurred her to write her book Revolting Women: Why Midlife Women are Walking Out and What to Do About It. It proved him wrong.
The Sunday Times praised the coach and positive psychologist's searing analysis of the Queenager Braindrain.
Why it is that 30 years after men and women entered the workforce in equal numbers, women still make up less than 20 percent of managers? Lucy's 3-part diagnosis:
- Midlife Collision (backed up by Eleanor Mills's research at noon.org.uk, which found that over half of women have been through at least five massive life events – divorce, bereavement, redundancy, caring for elderly parents, abuse, empty nest, or young offspring with mental health difficulties, their own health challenges, menopause... which often hit altogether).
- This causes women to leave, and then ...
- ... Gendered ageism in employers makes it hard for women to get another job.
And that's before we start talking about 'the revolt' – that sense of 'I just can't be fxxxxed to be pleasing anymore'. The Revolt is about redefining career success in new ways — ways that nourish every aspect of life.
Join Lucy and Eleanor for a masterclass in midlife women and work – and how to kick-start your career again.
