Dynamic meditations on adulthood, mortality, and ageing as told by an unprepared Gen-Xer. WTF: Woman Turning F*fty is a collection of savagely personal ‘postcards’—or eclectic experiential essays—from a former journalist on the margins of middle age. Pondering timeless questions about life, maturity, and loss, Marga Ortigas dips into universal truths that not even hormonal changes can alter. Or can they? These rants—oops, we mean, writings—will hopefully help others on the cusp of, gulp, middle age (or other life transitions) feel less alone. And you, yes you who have read this far, surely you are also grappling with uncertainty—don’t we all? So if you’d like some company . . . or perhaps simply want a laugh, WTF are you waiting for? This is for you, too.
