Product Description
In ancient times, older women were the keepers of primal mysteries and were revered for their special wisdom. For this very special book, Joyce Tenneson traveled throughout America to photograph and interview women ages 65 to l00.What she found was a revelationwomen who were vital, energetic, and deeply beautiful, inside and out. The80 portraits are of women from all walks of life from the famous, such as Sandra Day OConnor, Julie Harris, and Angela Lansbury, to the ordinary, such as our mothers and grandmothers. Tennesons compelling and compassionate portraits, accompanied by short poignant statements from these remarkable women about the experience of aging, will help to reawaken us to the power and wisdom of our elders.

 Text good. Illustrations unworthy. January 6, 2009
I am disappointed. I feel the photographs are overly dramatic. Why was it necessary to drape most of the subjects in sackcloth? I feel the images are unattractive and distract from the narrative. The photographs, for the most part, don't do these amazing women justice; and the insights offered are tepid at best.
 Wise Women Book Review January 6, 2009
This was a great gift for my sister-in-law. The photos were very well done and the sayings inspiring. This is a great gift for women of all ages!
Wise Women November 22, 2008
I was disappointed--it's somewhat dated, and the sepia is annoying. A much better choice: I Dream a World, by Brian Lanker.
A salute to older women. November 19, 2008
This book is a brilliant salute to the beauty and wisdom of older women. The photographs show the soul of those pictured, not just the body. As an older woman, I rejoice in a book that shows our strength. It's about time!
Good for all ages November 16, 2008
I am using this as a gift for all my women friends ages 23 - 103. The book is exceptional.
