Ever heard that thirty is the new twenty? We have, and so has Kayleen Schaefer. In a world where women are prosperous business owners, multi-talented artists and well-respected spokespeople, isn’t it time to update the archaic timeline that dictates that a woman will peak at twenty-five? This concise and cleverly structured analysis of the female existence challenges our preconceptions about milestones, goals, and a woman’s purpose. It brings us to the economic and social roots of the problem that places so much pressure on a woman to thrive before she is thirty, and introduces us to a world where our thirties can take drastically different forms, but where each form is justified and dignified in its own right.
