Abstract

SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY IS A MEMOIR IN FRAGMENTS, COMING TOGETHER TO TELL THE STORY OF ONE WOMAN’S JOURNEY WITH ANXIETY AS SHE INVESTIGATES ITS ROLE IN HER FAMILY, RELATIONSHIPS, AND SENSE OF SELF. COMBINED WITH RESEARCH THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE ROLE OF WOMEN, ANXIETY, AND SOCIETY, ABIGAIL REED BRINGS TO LIGHT THE PRESSURES WOMEN FACE IN THEIR LIVES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND IN THEIR HEALTH. A MIX OF PERSONAL NARRATIVE, RESEARCH, AND LYRICAL PROSE, SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY WILL LEAVE THE READER WITH A SHARP IMPRESSION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN IN TODAY’S ANXIOUS SOCIETY.
