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