The "Boomer Generation," long in the forefront of change, is looking for new models to reflect its attitudes about age. With Wise Talk, Wild Women , Gwen Mazer presents life stories of women who reflect a shift in ideas, beliefs, and feelings about age for the twenty-first century. Whether "sixty is the new forty" may be debatable, but there is no doubt that women now achieving the age of sixty and beyond are experiencing age differently than did their mothers and other women in previous generations. This series of intimate conversations about life, love, and lessons learned takes place with women of diverse ethnicity and background. They include poet Nikki Giovanni, activist Dolores Huerta, teacher Jean Houston, and philanthropists, doctors, artists, and others who have created meaningful lives and are making a difference in the world. Through their frank accounts and the stunning portraits of Christine Alicino, we glimpse a world of possibility for continual growth that is empowering and exciting. It invites us to celebrate a stage of life rich with the grace and wisdom accumulated over a lifetime."www.shelfari.com"
