Over the hill...haggard...old crone...wrinkly...out to pasture....
There are probably other less than complimentary adjectives used to
describe women at midlife and beyond. Typically, judgments like
these arise from superficial evaluations of women's worth based on
short-sighted values of physical beauty, youthfulness, high income,
and a frantic pace of activity. For too long, women have accepted
these judgments. The unspoken prejudice often leads mature women to
defer to wrinkle-free, bubbly, and less qualified younger people.
They not only throw in the towel, but also pull the covers over
their heads, to become invisible, to spare themselves ridicule and
rejection. Or, at the other extreme, they subject themselves to
undergoing plastic surgery, sporting clothes designed for co-eds,
and spending energies chasing the elusive butterfly of fading
youth. The time has come to change these unhealthy patterns so that
women can rewrite their life scripts and chart a new course for
their lives. This book suggests that mature women can model a
different pattern of aging that honors their worth and demonstrates
the gifts of growing older. The title, Women Afire, reflects the
image they can create by living lives that are on fire with
purposeful, fulfilling, activities. Through practical information
and engaging exercises, readers are offered the basics of caring
for their changing bodies, elements of emotional health, and
spiritual principles and practices that enable them to live life to
the fullest. Beyond supplying women with knowledge and skills to
foster their own optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual
well-being, the book challenges women to cast an enlightened vision
of aging that not only will serve all women, but society as a
whole.
