In Single Woman of a Certain Age, Jane Ganahl assembles a chorus of sophisticed, edgy, and humorous voices who tackle the topic of being unmarried and in one's prime. Reflecting on the (mostly) ups and (sometimes) downs of women cruising past 40, these writers address the challenges and rewards of growing older as a single woman: sex, loneliness, motherhood, learning to live alone (and happily), financial struggles, blossoming careers, menopause, and more.
Swinging between desperation and optimism, bad moods and good grace, these 29 essays range from the mild to the wild, the glamorous to the mundane, each expressing the gifts and travails of going solo.

“That
takes balls” are words of praise usually reserved for a man who
has done something tough, fearless, and maybe a little
crazy—someone who pushes the boundaries or breaks a few rules.
But when it comes to hotheaded courage, impassioned activism, quirky
wisdom, or bold confrontation, women have got what it takes—and
then some! That Takes Ovaries! is a lively, fun, and often touching celebration of women and girls doing their thing their way:
* Kathleen, who reduced a would-be burglar to tears by lecturing him about black pride (all while standing in her underwear)
* Elaine, a sky surfer who plunges from airplanes on a 30-inch surfboard
* Rachel, a high school junior who organized 100 high school girls to take on the boys who harassed them
* Denise, a teenage cashier who faced down an irate, gun-wielding gangbanger in an inner-city fast-food joint
* Joani, a public health educator who opened the country’s first women-oriented sex-toys store
*
Eva, who made the dangerous, illegal journey from Central America to
the United States in order to give her children a better life
Now that takes ovaries!
