Women and Aging is a valuable guide to help women break through the negative stereotypes of old age and find personal fulfillment through the stages of maturity.

This essential guide for aging will help women increase the vitality of their old age, as it urges them to continue to plan for the future, keep and develop strong relationships, increase their overall wellness, and not be afraid to take risks. Truly a celebration of aging, the authorās illuminating descriptions of her own aging and how she has overcome societyās restrictions are sure to be a source of inspiration for all women--no matter what their ages.Women and Aging begins by addressing cultural attitudes toward women, including appearance, language, behavior, and āwomenās work.ā The middle section encourages women to face their fears and limitations and express their emotions, while the concluding chapters are a virtual āguide to life,ā showing how to live life to the fullest and find inner fulfillment while aging.
