Absolutely the best

There are a lot of books out there today about enjoying the latter part of your life but this book is the best I've ever read about women aging. The author is a feminist who holds no punches. She talks about society's discrimination against aging women but also about how we ourselves limit our lives. She is insightful and amazing. I read it whenever I get tired of being old; it always sets me right again.
