Calling Invisible Women

Fiftysomething women are waking up invisible. Not the-nobody-whistles-at-her-on-the-street-anymore invisible but the blank-space-between-scarf-and-hat invisible. What really galls Clover is that her husband and children don't even notice. Luckily she spots an ad in the paper and meets a support group of other invisibles. Together they give each other courage not only to go back to work but to take down the pharmaceutical company responsible for their plight.

Calling Invisible Women by Jeanne Ray is a funny, even plausible, take on the dilemma of women everywhere who wish not only to be seen but heard.
