Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>A powerful and moving treatise on the surprises of aging from an influential feminist writer and activist who thinks beyond stereotypes</b></div><DIV><i><BR>The older I get, the more intensely I feel about the world around me.</i></div><DIV><BR>Gloria Steinem has been an eloquent and outspoken voice for women’s rights and equality for more than four decades. In <i>Doing Sixty & Seventy </i>she addresses an essential concern of people everywhere—and especially of women: the issue of aging. Whereas turning fifty, in her experience, is “leaving a much-loved and familiar country,” turning sixty means “arriving at the border of a new one.” With insight, intelligence, wit, and heartfelt honesty, she explores the landscapes of this new country and celebrates what she has called “the greatest adventure of our lives.”</div><DIV><BR>While appreciating everybody’s experiences as different, Steinem sees these years as charged with possibilities. Dealing with stereotypes and the “invisibility” that often accompany a woman’s senior years can be as liberating as it is frustrating. It frees women as well as men to embrace that “full, glorious, alive-in-the-moment, don’t-give-a-damn yet caring-for-everything sense of the right now.”</div><DIV><BR>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.</div></div>
