    Synopsis

    In ancient times older women were the keepers of primal mysteries and were revered for their special wisdom: today there is a feeling that our culture is reawakening to the power of our elders. Joyce Tenneson presents 80 portraits of women aged 65 to 100, who comment on their experiences of ageing.

    07/16/2007: This book makes me laugh and cry, often at the same time. I keep it on my comfort bookshelf. A perfect present book for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and sister-friends. The faces of these remarkable women show so much emotion with so little effort. No diva-ing, no vogueing, just women who have lived strong, useful lives with courage, kindness and ferocity. Some have overcome unimaginable sorrow and heartbreak, yet they themselves did not break. Every line on a face reveals something about the woman's character. Their posture lets you know they are indomitable.
