https://www.abc.net.au/shop/win-awoa/105404262An uplifting, inspiring book about the wisdom of older women - and what we can learn from them to rewrite the story of the second half of our lives.
A Wisdom of Age was sparked by the many conversations Jacinta Parsons has had recently with older women right around the country about the experience of being a woman and ageing. Over the course of these encounters, it became clear to Jacinta that the conversation about ageing for women is alive and bubbling with a kind of excitement - that is, women are ready to do ageing differently.
Capturing the brewing tone of revolution that sits in the hearts of middle-aged and older women, A Wisdom of Age tells a different story about ageing - a story about reclaiming the fierce girl we have inside us; about an unapologetic taking up of space; about speaking out and re-finding our confidence; and finally, about wisdom.
Tell us in 50 words or less some words of wisdom you’ve received from an elder person that have made a difference to you.
