Women Rowing North: Navigating Life’s Currents And Flourishing As We Age

"Mary Pipher’s famous 1990s book Reviving Ophelia explores the often hidden, traumatic lives of teenage girls. With Women Rowing North, Pipher dives into stories of women older than 50 – who may have been Ophelia readers – who, after years of giving and nurturing, now look over the landscape of their lives with calm contentment, good humor and a sense of wisdom. This comes despite misogyny, ageism and the loss of so much, including sometimes themselves. Women of all ages will find much to reflect on, and respond to, in this collection of lives lived and lost."
