On Women Turning 60 by Cathleen Rountree

I loved this book! It was an inspiring addition to Cathleen Rountree's series of "On Women Turning..." books - my favorite so far. The diverse group of women selected included some of my personal (s)heros - Marion Woodman and Jane Goodall - as well as a number of women I did not know of, but was pleased to be introduced to. The women's stories, the author's questions and commentary all interweave seemlessly. The photos are fabulous as well - capturing something of the essence of each woman. The topic of aging is handled honestly and openly, and I am left with a vastly different perspective than the negative view of aging most common in our society.
