DESCRIPTION:An 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..\nhttps://grlc.libnet.info/event/13331095
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>A Wisdom of Age&nbsp\;</em>was sparked
  by the many conversations Jacinta Parsons has had with older women from r
 ight 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 e
 xcitement - that is\, women are ready to do ageing differently.</p>\n<p>In
  this book\, Jacinta talks to the older women who inspire her\, the women 
 who are doing this ageing thing&nbsp\;right\,&nbsp\;mining the wisdom dire
 ct from those that know how to do it well. Drawing from the experiences of
  everyday older women from every walk of life\, Jacinta reflects on conver
 sations she's been having about the 'wisdoms' of ageing\, asking: now that
  we know what's held us back and who has controlled this narrative\, how c
 an we do this better?</p>\n<p><em>A Wisdom of Age</em>&nbsp\;captures the 
 brewing tone of revolution that sits in the hearts of middle age and older
  women who are ready to age differently\, to tell a different story about 
 ageing - that is\, to tell a story of women's ageing being about reclaimin
 g the fierce girl we have inside us\; about an unapologetic taking up of s
 pace\; about speaking out\, about re-finding our confidence and finally\, 
 about wisdom.</p>\n<p>Jacinta will be in conversation with fellow author K
 ate Mildenhall.</p>\n<p><strong>About the author</strong></p>\n<p>Jacinta
