So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too?

At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and the Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpeaking with women across America about their experiences as the generation raised to 'have it all,' Calhoun found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInstead of their issues being heard, they were told instead to lean in, take 'me-time' or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhy We Can't Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X's predicament and offers solutions for how to pull oneself out of the abyss - and keep the next generation of women from falling in.
