Retiring But Not Shy: Feminist Psychologists Create Their Post-Careers by Ellen Cole, Mary Gergen (Paperback, 2012)

Retiring But Not Shy: Feminist Psychologists Create their Post-Careers is composed of the stories of 23 women who address this time of life we call retirement. Each woman has been highly successful in her career as a psychologist, and each has taken seriously her commitment to feminism. Yet the authors are diverse in other ways, with differences in age, career specialties, ethnicity, ableness, sexual orientation, and partner status. The chapters are engaging, personal, lively, and, above all, a helpful guide to any professional woman who is considering what the future holds for her in her post-career. Issues of health, emotional well-being, housing issues, balancing career and post-career tensions, partner negotiations, financial decisions, endings and beginnings, are all touched upon. These accounts of resilience and creativity are written from the heart but also provide practical resources for readers. The introduction by Michelle Fine begins by describing it as a textual pajama party of essays by the very women who pioneered feminist psychology. The forewords by editors Ellen Cole and Mary Gergen invite us all to join in.
