New York Times Bestseller *USA Today Bestseller *Los Angeles Times Bestseller *Publishers Weekly Bestseller

The instant New York Times bestseller from the author of Reviving Ophelia--a guide to wisdom, authenticity, and bliss for women as they age--now with a new foreword by the author.

Women growing older contend with ageism, misogyny, and loss. Yet as Mary Pipher shows, most older women are deeply happy and filled with gratitude for the gifts of life. Their struggles help them grow into the authentic, empathetic, and wise people they have always wanted to be.

In Women Rowing North, Pipher offers a timely examination of the cultural and developmental issues women face as they age. Drawing on her own experience as daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, caregiver, clinical psychologist, and cultural anthropologist, she explores ways women can cultivate resilient responses to the challenges they face. “If we can keep our wits about us, think clearly, and manage our emotions skillfully,” Pipher writes, “we will experience a joyous time of our lives. If we have planned carefully and packed properly, if we have good maps and guides, the journey can be transcendent.”

TECH TROUBLE TIPS

If you’ve ever seen an image popup on your screen, seemingly out of nowhere, you can be sure that it’s a scam! Hackers are getting more and more clever in the ways they are using to get you to click on things. They do it with email, they do it with popups that suggest you’ve got a security issue. Just know that if you ever get something that references a security issue with your computer or email, it’s most likely a scam. If you are asked to click on a button or link, DON’T DO IT! They are trying to trick you into giving them information that you don’t want them to have. As a rule, if you don’t recognize it, it’s probably a scam!
