A Question of Age: Women, ageing and the forever self by Jacinta Parsons
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.9 MB
Overview: A beautifully written, searing and powerful examination of women and ageing that you will not be able to put down: intense, compelling, poetic, raging.
Warning: this is not a self-help book. Or, a helpful book, necessarily. No one really needs ‘help’ with ageing. It will happen no matter what we do. Neither is it a book to guide you through these stages of ageing. This book will not ask you to love your lines. Or to post on social media that you feel privileged to age. This book is, instead, a howl of rage.
Grappling with ageing is one of the most confronting elements of being a woman. When we become invisible, when we lose our sexual currency, when we lose that elasticity in our skin, when our bodies soften and change, when our perceived ‘value’ to society dramatically falls, when our notion of self-worth takes a radical shift.
What do we do when our outside self doesn’t match our inside self? That old woman staring back at her reflection in the mirror doesn’t understand why she feels so young. So how do we adjust our perceptions of getting older? What does it mean to age as a woman? How do we adjust our thinking about being in the world? What is our currency now?.
