Description
Aging is the ultimate disruption, a chance for women to reclaim themselves.
Because really, at what age do you become 'old'?
How is 'coping' with advancing age any different from coping with, say, puberty?
While our bodies are rapidly losing estrogen, we notice our patterns, find our most authentic selves, take a friendship inventory occasionally and build new ones, realise that finding our tribe is always a work in progress—there are so many surprises to pack in.
Being liberated from the womb coincides with a new kind of learning, unlearning, and relearning, an acceptance of ourselves and our bodies, and infinite awe and gratitude about the many things we take for granted in our youth.
In this memoir, Lalita Iyer takes a deep dive into the many ways in which ageing is both a ‘growing up’ and a liberation.
