Elderwoman is more than just a book about aging gracefully, however. Along with other, recently-published titles like Rabbi Schachter-Shalomi's From Aging to Sage-ing, Ram Dass's Still Here and Theodore Roszak's America the Wise, it endorses the idea that elderhood is an important time of wisdom, responsibility and service and that Western society is ripe for a massive re-empowerment of its older members so that they may become true elders. This book, however, is written specifically for women, since I believe their role in this cultural shift is a crucial one.
