Marina Benjamin in conversation at Blackwell’s Oxford

In a society obsessed with living longer and looking younger, what does middle age nowadays mean? How should a fifty-something be in a world ceaselessly redefining ageing, youth, and experience?

The Middlepause offers hope, and heart. Cutting through society’s clamorous demands to work longer and stay young, it delivers a clear-eyed account of midlife’s challenges. Spurred by her own brutal propulsion into menopause, Marina Benjamin weighs the losses, joys and opportunities of our middle years, taking inspiration from literature and philosophical example.

On Saturday 8 July at 11am, Marina Benjamin will discuss her book as part of Blackwell's Oxford's regulard strand of Saturday morning events. The event takes place in the Norrington Room and is completely free, but booking is advised.
