Summary
Unearths the stories of the little-known but powerful elder women in European myth and folklore, inspiring listeners to radically reimagine the last decades of their lives as the most dynamic of all
Western folklore and mythology are rife with brilliantly creative, fulfilled, feisty, and furious role models for aging women, despite our culture's focus on youthfulness. In her exciting new book, mythologist and psychologist Sharon Blackie explores these archetypes, presenting them in a way sure to appeal to contemporary women. Drawing inspiration from these examples, women can reclaim midlife as a liberating, alchemical moment rich with possibility and their elder years as a path to dynamic power.
After menopause, women can expect to live another forty to fifty years, making this stage of life longer than childbearing years. As Blackie describes it, midlife is the threshold to decades of opportunity and profound transformation, a time to learn, flourish, and claim the desires and identities that are often limited during earlier life stages. This is a time for gaining new perspectives, challenging and evolving our belief systems, exploring our calling, uncovering meaning, and ultimately finding healing for our accumulated wounds.

Alternative viewpoint of an aging/older woman
The hope and energy that was offered to consider when approaching older age. It can be celebrated rather than feared

Very enjoyable and educational
Sharon Blackie reads beautifully. I found her voice mesmerising and calming. The book also set me off on a fury of research of all these wise and wonderful hags that pepper our landscapes and minds which in turn cost me a small fortune in other books to be read! Whilst reading this book my mother died and it helped my own transformation of acceptance of her death and my own steps into hagitude.
