Description
Women in their sixties are no longer young but not quite old. We are at a pivotal point in our lives, ready to come to terms with the past, focus on the present, and look forward to the future. We possess wisdom that comes from experience, resilience that dares us to open the door to introspection, knowledge that empowers us, compassion that enables us to forgive ourselves–and others–and optimism for a future that may surprise and enchant us. Unlike women of earlier generations, we no longer take a back seat on the sidelines and instead of concealing our age we celebrate it. We are not afraid of aging and demonstrate our fearlessness with our words and actions. If you are in your sixth decade the thoughtful, courageous and inspirational words of the essayists who contributed to this book will resonate with you.
