Helps women break through the tired and hurtful stereotypes of
aging to better reflect who they are, how they live, and what they
want as they age. Who hasn't heard the stereotypes about women of a
"certain age?" That's the age when women become invisible,
irrelevant, undesirable, asexual, unhinged, dried-up, hormonal
messes. It's when women quickly slide into fragility and become
forgetful, passive, weak, feeble, debilitated, disabled, dependent,
and depressed. Or so the story goes. Not only are those outdated
narratives sexist and ageist, they are also damaging to women's
physical, emotional, financial, romantic, and sexual health. It's
time to change them. In Not Too Old for That, Vicki Larson helps
change the narrative about being a woman at midlife and older. She
questions what we've been told aging would be like and encourages
us to instead ask ourselves, what do we want it to be like, and how
can we get there? The key is to be curious, open-minded, and
intentional about the ways we are becoming our future selves.We
have an opportunity to create new narratives of aging as a woman,
ones that value women at all stages of life, not just youth, and it
starts with us. Once the stereotypes that have held women back are
broken down, women can move past them and rather than feel helpless
as the years add up, they can discover and tap into just how much
agency they have. Not only will this book help to create a
less-ageist, less-sexist, more-inclusive future, it will release
our daughters and all young women from a similar future.
