In “Old Enough,” 21 women creatives write about the experience of aging.
With several women from various demographics, this book is not squeamish about the challenges of growing older, considering matters of ageism, health concerns and loss. In these lyrical, sometimes wry, often inspiring essays, these women are frank about notions of female aging can be restrictive. They explore what growing older can offer: self-knowledge, insight and acceptance. Striking portraits by award-winning photographer Carolyn Sherer accompany each essay.
At the heart of this invigorating collection is the bold championing of creative practice. While some contributors look back to their girlhood to recall their first powerful connections to art, others show how they have refreshed their commitment to the practice.
This book aims to honor the limitless variety, depth and scope of being “old enough” and will resonate with readers who want to understand and find purpose, meaning and comradery in their creative journey.
