Summary of Ada Calhoun's Why We Can't Sleep

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Second-wave feminists, who had been fighting for women’s rights starting in the early 1960s, were now raising their daughters to receive the torch and to reach new levels of success.

#2 Halfway through college, Kelly realized she would need a master’s degree to achieve what she wanted in the field of psychology. She would need to get a job and pay off what she owed. She couldn’t.

#3 The author’s mother, Kelly, is a prime example of this. She has never returned to work after having her second child. She’s been out of the world for years, and she doesn’t have any viable connections anymore.

#4 Generation X was raised with the motto Exceed your expectations. We were told that we would accomplish more than our parents did, and that we could be anything we wanted to be. But when we didn’t live up to those expectations, we felt like we were failures.
