Doing Sixty & Seventy

Doing Sixty & Seventy

A powerful and moving treatise on the surprises of aging from an influential feminist writer and activist who thinks beyond stereotypes

The older I get, the more intensely I feel about the world around me.

Gloria Steinem has been an eloquent and outspoken voice for womenâ€™s rights and equality for more than four decades. InÂ Doing Sixty & SeventyÂ she addresses an essential concern of people everywhereâ€”and especially of women: the issue of aging. Whereas turning fifty, in her experience, is â€œleaving a much-loved and familiar country,â€ turning sixty means â€œarriving at the border of a new one.â€ With insight, intelligence, wit, and heartfelt honesty, she explores the landscapes of this new country and celebrates what she has called â€œthe greatest adventure of our lives.â€

While appreciating everybodyâ€™s experiences as different, Steinem sees these years as charged with possibilities. Dealing with stereotypes and the â€œinvisibilityâ€ that often accompany a womanâ€™s senior years can be as liberating as it is frustrating. It frees women as well as men to embrace that â€œfull, glorious, alive-in-the-moment, donâ€™t-give-a-damn yet caring-for-everything sense of the right now.â€

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the authorâ€™s personal collection.
