  Red Hot Mamas is the name Colette Dowling has given to women who are discovering freedom and vitality at midlife. Defying the stereotype of the woman who is on the shelf at 50 they are reinventing themselves: redefining family responsibilities, changing jobs and careers, discovering new approaches to menopause and remaking their important relationships. Drawing on interviews with women and her own personal experience, Dowling pinpoints the dilemmas women must solve if they are to keep moving forward. It gives the readers information and examples to help them make life-changing decisions, whether it be about hormone replacement, the risks of career change, strategies for midlife sexual satisfaction, the politics of appearance, money issues, the lure of a new marriage, or family pressures created by ageing parents and departing children.
