Growing Old Disgracefully
New Ideas for Getting the Most Out of Life
by THE HEN CO-OP
You are never too old to live life with self-esteem and playfulness, say the authors of Growing Old Disgracefully. Written by six women between the ages of 60 and 75, this book challenges stereotypes and suggests ways to make life at any age more joyous and creative.
Here are exciting possibilities for discarding old patterns and pursuing new adventures, especially for women who are willing to say "It's my turn now." By speaking in their own voices with love, honesty and humor, the authors encourage readers to examine their lives and risk change.
What the Reviewer's are Saying
- "Every woman approaching sixty, whether alone or still in a relationship, should read this book. It is not only full of good ideas, it's a very good read." --- Sunday News, Belfast
- "This book is funny and smart, just like old women -- especially those who choose to grow old `gracefully,' shedding the burden of an imposed and ill-defined `grace' for the pleasure and satisfaction of living their own lives". --Judith Arcana, Professor of Women's Studies and author of Grace Paley's Life Stories, a Literary Biography
- "This book makes you feel the best is yet to come" --South Wales Echo, Cardiff
- "They take an honest and thoughtful look at their own past and present lives, and at their own aging, and through that process are freed to become themselves. Their energy, their humor, their originally, and their joy shine through this collection of life stories, personal essays and poems." -- Ann E. Gerike, Ph.D., Psychologist and Convenor of the Aging and Ageism Caucus, National Women's Studies Association
