Older than time: a grandmother’s search for wisdom by Allegra Taylor
T
ravelling around the world to meet older women in the Caribbean, the Pacific islands, North America and Asia the author recounts her personal quest to become a wise and courageous women. This book is full of beautiful stories of older women from around the world. Some are of hard lives, some are of the celebration of womanhood, others are about the various roles played by women, but they all give an alternative to the images served up by a society which sometimes seems obsessed by youth. We should look forward to all stages in our lives and this book gave me an idea of the kind of woman I aspire to become.
