No stopping us now the adventures of older women in American history

Book On CD 2019

In this social history of American women and aging, New York Times columnist Gail Collins illustrates how age has been an arbitrary concept over the centuries. From Plymouth Rock (when a woman was considered marriageable if "civil and under fifty years of age") to the first female nominee for president, American attitudes towards age have been a moving target. Gail Collins gives women reason to expect the best of their golden years.
