More and more, people are recognizing the importance of giving back to the approximately 8,000 youth currently in foster care, and the nearly 650 youth who age out each year. Since 1996, New Yorkers For Children (NYFC) has been at the forefront of this work; but it would not be possible without our partners in the field. Looking back on 2019, NYFC has truly been strengthened by the resiliency and hard work of the youth we serve, as well as by the dedication and generosity of our steadfast partners.

  • The Feminist Origins of the Midlife Crisis*
    The Historical Journal, , (), pp. – © Cambridge University Press . This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/./), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:./SX THE FEMINIST ORIGINS OF THE MIDLIFE CRISIS* SUSANNE SCHMIDT University of Cambridge ABSTRACT. This article tells the history of the midlife crisis, for the first time. Today, the idea of midlife crisis conjures up images of male indulgence and irresponsibility, but it was first successfully promoted as a feminist concept that applied to men and women equally and described the dissolution of gender roles at the onset of middle age. Although the term was coined by the psychologist Elliott Jaques in the s, it only came into general use two decades later with journalist Gail Sheehy’s bestselling Passages (), as a concept that relied on older understandings of middle age as a welcome ‘release’ from motherhood and domesticity. The feminist origins of the midlife crisis suggest, first, that journalistic publishing can be more significant for the history of an idea than spe- cialists’ theories, even if those precede it. Secondly and more importantly, it sheds new light on Susan Sontag’s classic analysis of the ‘double standard of aging’ by making visible how women used the notion of midlife change to undermine gender hierarchies. One might not have expected the history of the midlife crisis to begin with a shocking scene from a notorious massacre, still less that a woman would tell the tale.

  • Here's the Complete List of Summer Reads Recommended by ACMP
    Here’s the complete list of summer reads recommended by ACMP members. Summer 2018 Most recommendations available where books are sold – check your library for out-of-print reads. Evenings with the Orchestra by Hector Berlioz, translated by Jacques Barzum (University of Chicago Press, 1999). A perennial favorite of mine is Evenings with the Orchestra by Hector Berlioz. Berlioz was a consummate music critic and teller of tales, and the translation into English by Jacques Barzun has great notes and introduction. It was published in 1956 by Alfred A. Knopf. Recommendation by Katy Morgan. The Piano Shop on the Left Bank: Discovering a Forgotten Passion in a Paris Atelier by Thaddeus Carhart (Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002). Recommendation by Gail Greenspan. The Noise of Time by Julian Barnes (Vintage International, 2017). Recommendation by Gail Greenspan. Gregory Piatigorsky: The Life and Career of the Virtuoso Cellist by Terry King (McFarland, 2010). This definitive biography chronicles a musical legend’s tempestuous life and career. Piatigorsky began his career on second hand instruments, escaping the Russian Revolution to play with the Warsaw Philharmonic, eventually making his way to the United States during World War II. Recommendation by Susan B. Smith. The Complete Artist’s Way: Creativity as a Spiritual Practice by Julia Cameron (Tarcher/Penguin 2007). Cameron encourages the creativity in all of us and gives us concrete suggestions for developing our artistic selves, overcoming self-criticism to be “perfect” or “famous” as an artist or not try at all. She gives you the 12 steps to recovering the creative self, lost after childhood and a life filled with practical effort at work, family responsibility and repression of the artistic self.
