More than a decade following the New York Times best-selling anthology The Bitch in the House spoke up loud and clear for a generation of young women, nine of the original contributors are back - along with 16 captivating new voices - writing their ruminations from a mature, more powerful, and wiser point of view about love, gender, work, family, independence, body image, health, and ageing: the critical display things of women's lives today. "Blessed out of anger", the essays in The Bitch in the House chronicled the facial skin of womanhood at the beginning of a fresh millennium. Now those funny, smart, passionate contributors - today less bitter and resentful and well informed, competent, and content - record the spirit of postfeminism in this equally provocative, illuminating, and engaging companion anthology. Having aged to their 40s, 50s, and 60s, these "bitches" - best-selling authors, renowned journalists, and critically acclaimed novelists - are back...and better than ever. In The Bitch Is Again, Cathi Hanauer, Kate Christensen, Sarah Crichton, Debora Spar, Ann Hood, Veronica Chambers, and 19 other women offer unique views on womanhood and feminism today. Some of the "original bitches" (OBs) revisit their early essays to think about their previous selves. All reveal how their lives have altered in the intervening years - whether they stayed coupled, remaining marriages, or acquired affairs; developed cancers or other physical troubles; coped with companions who strayed, died, or remained faithful; became full-time income earners or homemakers; opened up their marriages; remained childless or became parents; or experienced other important life transitions. As a fresh influx of feminists commences to take center level, this powerful, timely collection sheds a much-needed light on both past and present, offering understanding, compassion, and knowledge for modern women's lives, all the while pointing toward the fascinating possibilities of tomorrow.
