Its sixteen intimate portraits of  women in their seventies are a testament to women everywhere  that life can and must be lived to its fullest. The artists,  social activists, actors, scientists, journalists, academics,  poets, and novelists we meet are wise, vital, and impertinent,  and all are disarmingly honest. Through their stories, these  vibrant women share a depth of wisdom and knowledge acquired  after more than seventy years of experience and living. And they  haven't stopped living yet.  Liz Smith, the  acclaimed newspaperwoman, achieved her extraordinary success  just as she was about to retire.  Leah Friedman  started work on her Ph.D. the year before she turned seventy.  Harvard professor Elinor Gadon claims to have more  energy than women forty years her junior.  Betty  Friedan, the mother of the feminist movement, keeps her spirit  and curiosity alive by trying something new every week.  Artist Betye Saar remarks on her colorfully dyed hair,  \"If I want my hair purple, it's purple.\"  Sociologist Lee Robbins fell in love and married again  when she was seventy-five. Just as were her previous  best-selling books on women turning forty, fifty, and sixty,  this newest addition to the decade series of books from Cathleen  Rountree is proof that aging is a passionate, powerful, and  transformative process to be honored and celebrated. We are  reminded that age is not about getting old, but about growing  older-and seizing every moment in life. \"We define age. Age  does not define us.\"  These inspiring personal  portraits celebrate friends, mothers, grandmothers, neighbors,  sisters, leaders, lovers-women turning seventy.  If  Marilyn Monroe were alive today ...she would  have been seventy-two years old the summer during which I  completed the writing of this book,\" begins visual artist,  photographer, and writer Cathleen Rountree. Like her previous  bestsellers, this inspirational book is a wonderful collection  of intimate and revealing interviews with women who share their  thoughts, accomplishments, current interests, and the great  secret that aging is a powerful, transformative process to be  honored and celebrated. On Women Turning 70 makes an ideal gift  for grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and friends. \"About this issue of aging, I want to make a terribly  important point. People decide to get old. I've seen  them do it. It's as if they've said  'Right, that's it, now I'm going  to get old.' Then they become old. Why they do this, I  don't know. Maybe they like to be dependent. But I do  think it's terribly important that people not make  that inner decision. Because then they sit around and  they're old. It's easy not to do it, in  fact. It's not about staying young but about not  getting old.\"Doris Lessing  \"Do  what interests you, but also try new things. Maggie Kuhn had a  motto: 'Do something outrageous every week.'  And then she changed it to 'every day' at  the end of her life. I've got to do that, something  outrageous every week, and I've got to do something  new, you see.\"Betty Friedan  \"It  makes me impatient when people worry about getting old or  looking old. Just seems very odd to me. It's really a  pleasure to be living beyond seventy. Maybe one  shouldn't be too greedy.\"Mitsuye  Yamada  \"I find it easier to believe in the  impossible now in my seventies than I did when I was in my  rational midlife. I'm back to believing in the  impossible ...\" Madeleine L'Engle  \"Basically, I don't think people should  act like they're old. I think they're just  as old as they act. Old people aren't exempt from  having fun and dancing and having sexual desires and frittering  away their time and enjoying their leisure and playing. I  don't know why so many of them give  up.\"Liz Smith","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49888400965905,"sku":"GOR002341169","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416310808849,"sku":"CIN0787945129G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51750769459473,"sku":"CIN0787945129VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0787945129.jpg?v=1750980017"},{"product_id":"on-women-turning-60-book-cathleen-rountree-9780517707579","title":"On Women Turning 60","description":"(Lead Sheets: Melody line, lyrics and chord symbols).
