Book Overview
Still a breaking-through-the-barriers book after 22 years, this expanded edition of the classic begins with a tribute by Lise Weil, "In the Service of Truth: Remembering Barbara Macdonald." Barbara died at the age of 86 in June 2000. It also contains two talks Barbara gave, "Professionalism Is Not Benign" and "Old Women's Human Rights." An afterword by Cynthia Rich points to the impact Barbara made on the understanding of women and ageing and promises that she will continue to have a major impact on our lives.

Absolutely the best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
There are a lot of books out there today about enjoying the latter part of your life but this book is the best I've ever read about women aging. The author is a feminist who holds no punches. She talks about society's discrimination against aging women but also about how we ourselves limit our lives. She is insightful and amazing. I read it whenever I get tired of being old; it always sets me right again.
