Product Description

Review

Visually beautiful, this truly unforgettable celebration of womanhood teams up fabulous pictures and insightful interviews with women who have made their mark in widely diverse areas of life. Some are household names (Zandra Rhodes, Lynda la Plante) others perhaps not (Khom Sokhuen, Emiko Funatso). But what they have in common is that each woman, in her own way, is truly remarkable and that's what makes this a visionary project that has the ability to make you laugh, cry and rejoice in the inspiration of sisters doing it for themselves. --Daily Record

A stunning new book which highlights the extraordinary lives of some equally extraordinary women. From Jane Russell to Betty Boothroyd, Susan Sarandon to Zandra Rhodes - you'll find it a truly inspirational read. --Woman & Home

Packed with inspirational stories, it's a must read. Give it to your mum and borrow it when she's done. --The Sun


Product Description

'50 over 50' is an inspirational and life-affirming book, which will stir the imaginations of women about to turn 50, as well as those who are already there and beyond. It will also encourage younger women, who may be less than convinced that there is life after the age of 50, to think again. It features the stories and portraits of 50 amazing women over 50 known and unknown from all over the world, and from all walks of life from politicians to film stars, lifeboat crew to space explorers, scientists to aid workers. It looks at their lives and experiences, their views on being over 50, their achievements and their philosophy of life. Included amongst these extraordinary women are Angela Baker, one of the original Calendar Girls; actress and anti-war campaigner, Susan Sarandon; former brothel madam, Cynthia Paine; six times Olympian, Anne Abernathy, known as Grandma Luge ; farmers match-maker, Patricia Warren; fashion designer, Zandra Rhodes; long distance swimmer, Carol Sing; Spitfire pilot, Carolyn Grace: Cinema legend and founder of WAIF/Operation Children, Jane Russell; Diana Princess of Wales psychic, Sally Morgan: ex-Mafia wife and Hollywood stunt driver, Georgia Durante; Arctic and Antarctic Explorer, Pom Oliver; and round-the-world solo runner, Rosie Swale Pope. '50 over 50' is sponsored by Dove as part of the ProAge Dove campaign, and the authors are donating their royalties to charity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, 16 Mar 2007
By L. P. Larcombe "LinzL" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a soon to be 50 year old, I was in awe of the eclectic mix of interesting, unusual, brave and fun women featured in this book. Every one of them had an enthuasiasm for life that carried them through whether it was to overcome a personal challenge, cope with a disabilitating condition, help others or to make the best of life gladdening peoples' hearts as they went. If you want some 'get up and go' look no further for inspiration than 50 over 50.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational!, 8 May 2007
By Irene Kelly (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a fantastic book! A must have for anyone who is feeling a bit middle-aged.
As a forty five year old I had started to think that I should be content with having had an exciting youth, the stories in this book make me realise that the excitment continues for those who dare. Wonderful pictures, inspiring words - you won't regret buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars OVER 50?, 18 Sep 2009
By bookdragon (falkirk, scotland) - See all my reviews
When I first started reading this book I was in a deep depression and thought this book would help me pick up. At first it made me feel inadequate. However I persevered and now recommend a read to anyone who feels down. This is a real eyeopener for any women who thinks everything changes for the worst at 50 (bodies sag, hormones deplete, energy saps). I have used this book to look positively on the future - GO GIRLS - WE CAN DO IT!
