Notes On Womanhood
Paperback Edition: 1
After Sarah Jane Barnett had a hysterectomy in her forties, a comment by her doctor that she wouldn't be less of a woman prompted her to investigate what the concept of womanhood meant to her. Part memoir, part feminist manifesto, part coming-of-middle-age story, Notes on Womanhood is the result.
Here, Barnett examines the devastation she inflicted on herself as a young woman, the invisibility she feels as her youth fades, the power of female friendship, the stories women learn about midlife and menopause, and how being the daughter of a transgender woman changed her ideas of womanhood.
