Description
Mercurial meditations on adulthood, mortality, and menopause (as told by an unprepared Gen-Xer).
"I imagine I am not the only girl who was unprepared to be middle-aged."
WTF - Woman Turning Fifty is a collection of savagely personal 'postcards'—or eclectic experiential essays—from a former journalist on the margins of middle age. Pondering age-old questions about life, maturity, and loss, the author dips into universal truths that not even hormonal changes can alter. Or can they?
These rantings—oops, we mean, writings—will hopefully help other women on the cusp of (gulp) menopause feel less alone. And you, yes YOU reading this far, you may or may not count among us, but if you love us and want to understand or perhaps simply want a laugh—then what are you waiting for? WTF - Woman Turning Fifty is for you, too.

About the Author
Marga Ortigas has been a journalist for almost 30 years, getting her start in television during the most catastrophic volcanic eruption in recent history - when Mount Pinatubo blew up in the Philippines. Eventually, she moved to London and joined CNN International, covering Europe and the Middle East. This included a year in Iraq and time in Gaza. A decade later, she returned to Asia for Al Jazeera. As the network's Senior Asia Pacific correspondent, she travelled across the region from a base in Manila, handling breaking news, speaking to decisions makers, and meeting those most affected by calamities. She was recognised by the International Committee of the Red Cross for Humanitarian Reporting. Marga was also awarded a British Council scholarship and completed a master's degree in literature in the United Kingdom.
