Book excerpt: An essayist, poet, freelance writer, and Minnesota Public Radio commentator, Susan Carol Hauser saw her approaching fiftieth birthday as an opportunity to reflect on where she had been, in order to better understand who she was at this milestone in her life. Each of her essays shares the wonder, experiences, and perceptions of life's cycles, of one year's turning - of a woman turning fifty. Barbara Van Arnam's magnificent paintings tap into the all-encompassing rhythms of life, eloquently echoing the essential harmony flowing through nature, and ourselves, as we continue on our path through life. Hauser's many peers in the baby-boomer generation will recognize their era on these pages, as they too conjure a new personal future.

Download or read book Not a Bucket List written by Kasia Noworyta-Fridman and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-27 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, you can find information about turning fifty almost everywhere. "Over the hill" titles abound, as do letters from women who felt depressed when they reached the big 5-0. On the other hand, many positive and encouraging materials can also be found, although it can be quite daunting and overwhelming to see the blogs of the fifty-year olds who are the fittest, the happiest and the best looking on their big birthday, when the reader simply isn't or doesn't feel that way at that point in his or her life. "Not a Bucket List" offers a balanced look at midlife. It shares personal experiences with the goal of encouraging and inspiring the readers to find small and big goals that would enrich their own lives. This book does not provide a list of practical must-do's but rather it focuses on life's joyful moments and experiences, which are unique for everyone. "Not a Bucket List" approaches these topics from the point of view of personal growth and enrichment. It aims to inspire the reader to create his/her own goals, regardless of the number of candles on the birthday cake. Through fifty mini-chapters, "Not a Bucket List" presents a variety of possibilities, from the seemingly small but meaningful experiences (having a nap on a deck) to the realization of big dreams that seemed impossible (seeing lavender fields in Provence), from feasible personal development tasks (do something out of your comfort zone) to bigger, more altruistic enrichment opportunities (volunteer in the community). Take the challenge, read about Kasia Noworyta-Fridman's journey and embark on your own!

Book excerpt: "About this issue of aging, I want to make a terribly important point. People decide to get old. I've seen them do it. It's as if they've said 'Right, that's it, now I'm going to get old.' Then they become old. Why they do this, I don't know. Maybe they like to be depAndent. But I do think it's terribly important that people not make that inner decision. Because then they sit around and they're old. It's easy not to do it, in fact. It's not about staying young but about not getting old."--Doris Lessing On Women Turning 70 is a celebration-of success, love, relationships, self-of life. Its sixteen intimate portraits of women in their seventies are a testament to women everywhere that life can and must be lived to its fullest. The artists, social activists, actors, scientists, journalists, academics, poets, and novelists we meet are wise, vital, and impertinent, and all are disarmingly honest. Through their stories, these vibrant women share a depth of wisdom and knowledge acquired after more than seventy years of experience and living. And they haven't stopped living yet. Liz Smith, the acclaimed newspaperwoman, achieved her extraordinary success just as she was about to retire. Leah Friedman started work on her Ph.D. the year before she turned seventy. Harvard professor Elinor Gadon claims to have more energy than women forty years her junior. Betty Friedan, the mother of the feminist movement, keeps her spirit and curiosity alive by trying something new every week. Artist Betye Saar remarks on her colorfully dyed hair, "If I want my hair purple, it's purple." Sociologist Lee Robbins fell in love and married again when she was seventy-five. Just as were her previous best-selling books on women turning forty, fifty, and sixty, this newest addition to the decade series of books from Cathleen Rountree is proof that aging is a passionate, powerful, and transformative process to be honored and celebrated. We are reminded that age is not

Download or read book Are Women Human written by Catharine A. MacKinnon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half a century after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights defined what a human being is and is entitled to, Catharine MacKinnon asks: Are women human yet? If women were regarded as human, would they be sold into sexual slavery worldwide; veiled, silenced, and imprisoned in homes; bred, and worked as menials for little or no pay; stoned for sex outside marriage or burned within it; mutilated genitally, impoverished economically, and mired in illiteracy--all as a matter of course and without effective recourse? The cutting edge is where law and culture hurts, which is where MacKinnon operates in these essays on the transnational status and treatment of women. Taking her gendered critique of the state to the international plane, ranging widely intellectually and concretely, she exposes the consequences and significance of the systematic maltreatment of women and its systemic condonation. And she points toward fresh ways--social, legal, and political--of targeting its toxic orthodoxies. MacKinnon takes us inside the workings of nation-states, where the oppression of women defines community life and distributes power in society and government. She takes us to Bosnia-Herzogovina for a harrowing look at how the wholesale rape and murder of women and girls there was an act of genocide, not a side effect of war. She takes us into the heart of the international law of conflict to ask--and reveal--why the international community can rally against terrorists' violence, but not against violence against women. A critique of the transnational status quo that also envisions the transforming possibilities of human rights, this bracing book makes us look as never before at an ongoing war too long undeclared.

The desire to do battle disappears. We feel calm. And we know we're going to have time to make the most of it.'

In Why French Women Feel Young at 50 you will learn how to take pleasure from the simple things in life and how to make the most of your fifties, the Parisian way.

Download or read book The Art of Turning 50 written by Kenlyn Kolleen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it. Aging in our culture is incredibly challenging, which is why most of us have ignored it or pretended it was not going to happen to us. Although both men and women are affected, women bear the biggest brunt of our culture's disempowered and disrespectful view of aging. Older men are seen as distinguished while women do not have the same currency as they age. Women often find themselves on a treadmill, trying to outrun biology so they can halt their perceived loss of power. This cultural paradigm also affects younger women who live under the tyranny of objectification--believing that their worth and value lie only in their youth and their looks. It's a cultural disease. We are stuck in a society that worships eternal youth. Beauty and youth are wonderful, but they are only a part of life, and when that part of life wanes, we must transition to something deeper and more meaningful or wither. As women, we have become co-conspirators in our own oppression (and depression) by accepting these views, by perpetuating them through our disempowered conversations with each other, by contorting ourselves to be who we are not, and by judging ourselves in the mirror. This is a subtle yet deeply rooted way to keep us from knowing and exercising our power. It keeps us small and quiet when, really, we are a force. Let's reject the cultural default. Our birthright is far better. Fifty is the threshold crossing into our most radiant and authentic self. It's the era of our inner Queen. Let's initiate ourselves so that we can step powerfully into our 50s. That's why I created The Art of Turning 50. I'm on a mission to give us all permission to reject the cultural default and to live freely and authentic. Everyone benefits (like your children, your friends, our co-workers, our exes, the animal kingdom, even the world) when we stop living in the past and embrace our inner Queen--when we own our wisdom, and when we accept and love ourselves as we are. Then any improvements or fixes or enhancements can come from our core of self love and self acceptance. Let's create a world where we respect our own aging as the emergence of our authentic selves, where young women and little girls are related to their worth from the inside out and look forward to the widsom, radiance, and privileges of aging. Let us become that woman. For ourselves. For others. For the planet. The Art of Turning 50 is a beautifully designed guidebook -- part workbook, part journal -- that guides you through expressing yourself, processing your life path up to now, and creating a new future. The end result is to create your own Rite of Passage event and initiate yourself into your new vision. Use the guide at your own pace--you can work through the guide as fast or as slowly as you want, or as many times as you'd like. It will provide you with a rich and profound experience as you (or someone you love) crosses the threshold into her 50s. --By Kenlyn Kolleen

Download or read book Fifty Things You Must Never Do If You Are a Woman Over Fifty written by Maria Larson Manske and published by . This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are plenty of self-help guides available for women who are reaching the half-century mark. Many are serious step-by-step tomes, cheerleader-positive, and often impossible for the average woman to follow. This little tongue-in-cheek guide is for the woman who does not want to resign herself to being an old lady quite yet, but understands that rollerblading on busy city streets while wearing a tube top isn't exactly a smart choice either. From relationships to footcare, Manske digs deep into and pokes fun at the crimes committed by women who have faced the major milestone of turning fifty.
