Not Too Old for That - How Women Are Changing the Story of Aging

The narratives around women at midlife and older are more than just sexist and ageist; they’re damaging to women’s physical, emotional, financial, romantic, and sexual health. This book will help women break through those tired and hurtful stereotypes to better reflect who they are, how they live, and what they want as they age.
