Women sail north

Seventy-year-old author Mary Pipher credits her daughter's experiences, sisters, mother, Grandmothers, caregivers, clinical psychologist and cultural anthropologist, and writes for women about women at a point of life change. " If we can keep our judgement, wit and ability to handle our emotions, it can be the most joyous time of our lives. If we have prepared well for the trip and have the right maps and guides, this trip can have a big impact. "

The book reads with a similar ease as a collection of anecdotes or social media posts, yet it touches on topics that women in their sixties deal with: all forms of loss, the transformation of the body, receiving support and care, loneliness, creating or not creating new relationships, relations with the family, re-evaluating and accepting your life.
