Becoming a middle-aged woman, Caitlin Moran describes it as being at the center of others' need for care.

Aging parents and crisis-stricken teenagers become one's responsibility, the author says.

- The middle-aged woman is the one who carries society on her shoulders, says Caitlin Moran and emphasizes that something has become clearer during the corona pandemic.

- We are approaching the point where women can say: “Maybe we should just stop working for a week so that people start to miss us.

Then we can make a comeback and demand payment ”.

“Thought I would walk around in linen pants” 

Ten years have passed since her acclaimed book "The Art of Being a Woman" came out.

Now she has released the sequel, "More than a woman", which depicts precisely that life after 40 did not turn out as she had imagined.

- I thought I would walk around in linen pants and have long lunches with friends.

But I was so wrong, says Caitlin Moran.
