This book reflects on the author's life and those of the many women, as she examines the impact these major, life-altering decisions is having on individuals and on society as a whole.
Virginia pulls no punches as she explores just how the big choices we make in our twenties, thirties and forties about career, love, sex, fertility and motherhood ultimately shape and define us - whether we like it or not. In this passionate, compelling, thoroughly researched and at times confronting exploration Virginia reflects on her own life and those of the many women who have let her into their hearts and minds, as she examines the impact these major, life-altering decisions is having on individuals and on society as a whole. "Wonder Woman" is about real choices - or the lack thereof; the women being forced to make them and how these choices will shape our future.
