The glory of growing older is the freedom to be more truly
ourselves--with age we gain the liberty to pursue bold new endeavors and
worry less about what other people think. In this richly illustrated
volume, bestselling author and artist Lisa Congdon explores the power of
women over the age of forty who are thriving and living life on their
own terms. Profiles, interviews, and essays from women--including Vera
Wang, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Julia Child, Cheryl Strayed, and many
more--who've found creative fulfillment and accomplished great things in
the second half of their lives are lavishly illustrated and
hand-lettered in Congdon's signature style. The perfect gift for women
of all ages, A Glorious Freedom celebrates extraordinary lives and
redefines what it means to gain wisdom and maturity.
