Love Myf Warhurst? We do too. Two years ago we had a wild night together in Bowral, and now she’s coming back to do it again - this time, with some Middle Rage thrown into the mix.
We’re hosting Myf at Centennial Vineyards Restaurant as part of her national book tour for Middle Rage.
Myf will be in conversation with Mamamia’s Holly Wainwright - co-host of Mamamia Out Loud podcast, host of Mid podcast, and author of 5 novels, including He Would Never, The Mummy Bloggers and The Couple Upstairs.
So get your girls out of the group chat, grab your ticket and get ready for some unapologetic truth-telling. Because if you don’t laugh, you might do something you’ll regret.
About Middle Rage
Myf Warhurst thought she was nailing middle age. Then, thanks to some unexpected curveballs, life shook things up. Myf's usually breezy, sunny demeanour went AWOL, replaced with a quiet, seething fury bubbling deep within that threatened to burst out at any moment. No-one had warned her about this.
In this revealing memoir, Myf gets deeply personal about her own experience that left her irrevocably changed, and the impact it has had on her mind, her body and sense of self. Empowered by a newfound clarity, she shines a light on some of the glaring injustices, absurdities, cruelties and ridiculous gender expectations in our modern world. She calls bullshit on those in charge, and those who think they are, who uphold the archaic structures holding women back. In sharing her hard-won knowledge and claiming her own power, Myf encourages women to stop putting themselves last.
Middle Rage is an unflinchingly honest manifesto. It is a powerful, relatable book for any woman shaking their fist at the constraints of age, womanhood, relationships and expectations in today's world, and for the men who love those fist-shaking women. There's no doubt, there is nothing so illuminating as the volcanic rage of a Gen X woman. This is not the book Myf intended to write. It is the book she had to write.
