6. Book Review: Tough Broad by Caroline Paul - Watershed Notes
24 apr 2024 · Caroline Paul's book is not just for older women, but for any woman wondering what mid- and late-life can bring. Turns out it can be just as ...
Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is how a change in circumstance can affect every aspect of our lives. My mental illness, which started in 2013, led to a severing of my ties with my workplace and subsequently my career and community. I thought that was the extent of it, but I realized two years ago that my illness also led to troubles with anxiety and decision-making while in the outdoors—specifically while hiking. My challenge has been whether to just accept these changes and move on, or to try and push back to return to some semblance of what things were like before. This applies not just to mental illness, but to anything that changes our ability to do something that we love. I just finished reading The Longest Climb, by Paul Pritchard, in which he details his traumatic brain injury from being hit in the head by falling rock while climbing, and his recovery from that injury. This change in circumstance required a year of intense therapy just to function again, and left him in a similar situation to someone who’d had a stroke: paralysis on one side and difficulty walking, as well as epileptic seizures. He had to decide how much of his outdoor life he wanted to recapture; what he could realistically recapture. How far he was willing to push himself in his altered condition. Well he was willing to push himself pretty hard, and he ends up doing a lot of tough things that even a temporarily able person (his term, as he notes that at some point we’ll all be di...

This book focuses on six brilliant women who are often seen as particularly tough-minded: Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Diane Arbus, ...
This book focuses on six brilliant women who are often seen as particularly tough-minded: Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Diane Arbus, and Joan Didion. Aligned with no single tradition, they escape straightforward categories. Yet their work evinces an affinity of style and philosophical viewpoint that derives from a shared attitude toward suffering. What Mary McCarthy called a “cold eye” was not merely a personal aversion to displays of emotion: it was an unsentimental mode of attention that dictated both ethical positions and aesthetic approaches.Tough Enough traces the careers of these women and their challenges to the pre-eminence of empathy as the ethical posture from which to examine pain. Their writing and art reveal an adamant belief that the hurts of the world must be treated concretely, directly, and realistically, without recourse to either melodrama or callousness. As Deborah Nelson shows, this stance offers an important counter-tradition to the familiar postwar poles of emotional expressivity on the one hand and cool irony on the other. Ultimately, in its insistence on facing reality without consolation or compensation, this austere “school of the unsentimental” offers new ways to approach suffering in both its spectacular forms and all of its ordinariness.
