The Role of Pop Culture in the Self-development of Midlife Women Linda Hughes

People in midlife are often told they are "over the hill." Not true, say many midlife women. "We are at our peak." This research study where midlife women were interviewed about their experiences with aging reveals that many women find that they have a sense of increased personal power, feelings of emotional satisfaction, and a stronger belief in a spiritual connection than they ever encountered when they were younger. This study reveals how these women came to this place of joyful living at this time in their lives.
