Books"Women in Transition"
In this monthly web column for the National Association of Baby Boomer Women, I write about issues of special interest to women in midlife. I invite women to respond with their comments and thoughts as well as ideas for future columns. For My Next Act...Women Scripting Life After Fifty
Rodale, 2004 Interweaving my own personal story with those of scores of women at midlife and interviews with experts, For My Next Act... shows how today’s 50-something women are redefining and reinventing our lives--and writing some pretty gratifying scripts for the next act. “How many times have you heard words like, ‘This is what 50 or 60 looks like now,’ or ‘I’m not my mother’s 40’- Karen Baar’s authentic, delightful, and juicy look at Act Two explores what Baby Boomer women are doing with their years of greatest wisdom and power.” --Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Inner Peace for Busy Women and A Woman's Book of Life "Like a smart and loving friend, Karen Baar takes women by the hand and leads them through the murky and challenging roads of post-fifty life. This book is filled with insight and good sense." --Ruthellen Josselson, Ph.D., author of Revising Herself: The Story of Women's Identity from College to Midlife "Karen Baar presents an engaging and highly illuminating account of the challenges of being women in our 50s.

I felt younger just reading it and am pondering ideas for my third act: life after 75." --Betty Carter, M.S.W., director emerita of the Family Institute of Westchester, N.Y.
