Women Rowing North: Navigating Life's Currents and Flourishing as We Age

by Mary Pipher

Description

Drawing on psychology, cultural observation, and her own experiences as a daughter, mother, grandmother, caregiver, and clinician, this insightful guide explores the emotional and social realities of women’s later years. Mary Pipher examines how ageism, misogyny, loss, changing relationships, and caregiving can shape the journey of aging—while also revealing the profound happiness, gratitude, resilience, and wisdom that often emerge along the way. With compassion and practical perspective, she offers strategies for navigating life’s transitions, managing emotions, cultivating authenticity, and building meaningful connections. The result is an encouraging meditation on aging as a time of growth, purpose, and possibility.
