ANGELA ASCENDING; pg. 117
She’s fought for everything she has: her acting career, her marriage, and her twins. As her searing memoir arrives in bookstores, Angela Bassett talks candidly to More’s Meryl Gordon about her bumpy road to joy. “In my twenties, I was so focused on me and my career. Now that I’ve had success in that arena and feel confident in my work, I can give more time and appreciation to family.” When reminded she’ll be in her sixties when the twins get to college she replies, “But I’ll be a good-looking 60! Some people fight their age, but I feel good about being 48.”
ROSSEAU’S BRAINSTORM; pg. 84
Dr. Gail Rosseau, 50, is one of the country’s top neurosurgeons and she wants to give women who have had breast cancer a chance to know their future. She has recently announced a pioneering trial screening program aimed at spotting breast cancer that has spread to the brain, before patients show any symptoms. However, some say such scans don’t make a difference in how long people live. Laurence Gonzales explores if doctors can make this early knowledge useful or if, for the patient, ignorance is bliss.
THE MENTOR’S MANUAL; pg. 72
Networking in our twenties and thirties was a contact sport; the more, the better. But now, as seasoned careerists, women crave connections that can help them with complicated work issues. How can women fish for what they need while avoiding the sharks? How can women give back without giving it all away? Mary Lou Quinlan discusses how, after 40, networking and mentoring are all bout focus planning and selectivity – and sometimes saying no.
