Download or read book The Old Ladies written by Hugh Walpole and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vintage book contains Hugh Walpole's 1924 novel, "The Old Ladies". This book was written whilst Walpole was staying with his parents in Switzerland. It was begun without much prior thought, and served as a welcome break from another book he had been writing by which he had been utterly absorbed. Inspired by a peculiar old lady encountered by Walpole in Switzerland, this sinister and engrossing tale will appeal to fans of eerie literature, and will be of special interest to collectors of Walpole's masterful work. The chapters of this book include: "Mrs. Amorest Pays a Visit", "Evening in the House - Agatha Payne", "Life of May Beringer", "Red Amber", "Christmas Eve - Polchester Winter Piece", "Agatha Secretly", "Death of Hopes", "May Beringer Tries to Escape", etcetera. Many texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Book Synopsis No Stopping Us Now by : Gail Collins
Download or read book No Stopping Us Now written by Gail Collins and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beloved New York Times columnist "inspires women to embrace aging and look at it with a new sense of hope" in this lively, fascinating, eye-opening look at women and aging in America (Parade Magazine). "You're not getting older, you're getting better," or so promised the famous 1970's ad -- for women's hair dye. Americans have always had a complicated relationship with aging: embrace it, deny it, defer it -- and women have been on the front lines of the battle, willingly or not. In her lively social history of American women and aging, acclaimed New York Times columnist Gail Collins illustrates the ways in which age is an arbitrary concept that has swung back and forth over the centuries. From Plymouth Rock (when a woman was considered marriageable if "civil and under fifty years of age"), to a few generations later, when they were quietly retired to elderdom once they had passed the optimum age for reproduction, to recent decades when freedom from striving in the workplace and caretaking at home is often celebrated, to the first female nominee for president, American attitudes towards age have been a moving target. Gail Collins gives women reason to expect the best of their golden years.

Book Synopsis No More Little Old Ladies! by : Barbara Morris
Download or read book No More Little Old Ladies! written by Barbara Morris and published by Wordclay. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little Old Ladies don't just happen--they are created by default. The road to little old lady-hood starts early in mid life but if a well thought out plan of prevention is in place, midlife women can keep and improve their current level of youthful attributes for at least another 25 years. One reason most women don't achieve their desired degree of agelessness is because the traditional retirement oriented senior culture does not support growth and productivity. The negative power of the senior culture is something few women are aware of, and nobody talks about it...until now. This aging influence in the lives of older women has finally been "outed" and you must discover what it's all about and how to avoid it in No More Little Old Ladies!
Book Synopsis Older Women in the Criminal Justice System by : Azrini Wahidin
Download or read book Older Women in the Criminal Justice System written by Azrini Wahidin and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2004-06-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is life like for the women who grow old behind bars? Azrini Wahidin examines in-depth the experiences and needs of this overlooked group. What happens to the identity and mental health of these women who are closed off from the outside world and without familial networks? What does it feel like to have to carve out a new version of your private self, in a public space? Wahidin shows how ageist and sexist attitudes in criminal procedures and penal policy regulate and discipline the ageing body. She also highlights the failures of practical provisions in prisons to meet the particular needs of this group. Illuminating reading for all those working in the prison services, probation, and the courts, and an important addition to the wider criminology punishment-rehabiliation debate, Older Women in the Criminal Justice System offers a rare view of what happens to the women who grow old in prison.

Book Synopsis Older Women Don’t Giggle by : K. Charles Oelfke 2nd
Download or read book Older Women Don’t Giggle written by K. Charles Oelfke 2nd and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A femme d’un certain âge, as the French refer to, is a woman of indeterminate age who can be sophisticated and attractive. It’s an elegant phrase and to me, not at all derogatory. For author K. Charles Oelfke II, it implies an undercurrent of mystery, combined with a certain fascination and respect for the woman so described. In Older Women Don’t Giggle, Oelfke shares the story of his life, an exciting romp that might help older women realize their potential as femmes d’un certain âge and helps young men wake up to life’s possibilities. In this memoir, he discusses his approach to intimate relationships, mixed with personal experiences such as world travel in his powder blue VW Beetle, all while absorbing architectural history. Oelfke tells how he looks at things from a different perspective than most other men, particularly where women are concerned. Older Women Don’t Giggle chronicles how he’s lived an extraordinary life full of adventure, business experiences, travel, and excitement, interspersed with marvelous romantic and erotic experiences. “A lover teaches a wife all her husband has kept from her.” —Honoré Balzac Had Benjamin read my book, he could have avoided much grief. Had Mrs. Robinson read my book, Benjamin could have had a great ride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persons of all ages struggle to survive losses and rewrite their life stories. Self-help books abound, yet seldom do we stop to consider living resources, the wise old persons who are among us. Gerontologists Janet L. Ramsey and Rosemary Blieszner have recorded narratives of spiritually resilient German and American women and offer here a rare combination of listening, personal story telling, and professional reflection. Avoiding simplistic answers and acknowledging the ambiguity of human experience, the authors give voice to a remarkably unheard group: strong old women. In this unique book you will find unforgettable stories of courage and faith but also provocative suggestions on how to enrich your clinical and academic work through an increased emphasis on spiritual coping. The authors also emphasize the importance of acknowledging emotions in spiritual experiences, and integrating faith and close human relationships.
