This is a really lovely book. It profiles different women - some you've heard of (Gloria Steinem, Isabel Allende) and many you probably haven't, but all are interesting. Each section includes a black & white photo, a short bio, and an interview which is presented like a monologue rather than a back-and-forth dialogue. The interviews tend to be about each woman's reflections on life history, thoughts on aging, things they've learned in their lives that they wish they'd figured out earlier. Some are a bit political. There are some really beautiful and insightful words in this book.

Heartening book follows some really cool women into their 50s. Made me feel better about hitting the big 5-0 soon.
