Not much attention has been given to differences among women between the ages of 30 and 60 years when discussing crisis events. 370 women were asked to respond to items regarding midlife crisis, i.e., whether they had experienced a midlife crisis, the intensity of the crisis, and their ability to identify the precipitating event. Most of the 264 women who had experienced a crisis identified “Changes in Self” as the precipitating event. Also identified were work-related events. As in the literature, work is infrequently addressed in this context.
