Description
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. Oprah Winfrey
You are never too young – or too old – to start growing old disgracefully.
Disgracefully Yours is written by six women over the age of 60, collectively known as The Hen Co-op. After the publication of their internationally successful first book, Growing Old Disgracefully, they received thousands of letters from women seeking advice about various aspects of ageing, as well as how to grow old disgracefully. Disgracefully Yours has been written partly in response to those letters, but also to encourage other women to follow the path the authors have taken towards joy, humour, friendship and growth. Although they, too, experience the loneliness and other problems of ageing, in this inspiring and entertaining book they share their experiences and offer suggestions, alternatives and, above all, hope.
Growing Old Disgracefully was voted ‘Best Book of the Year’ by Choice magazine in 1993. They referred to it as ‘A book that deserves to be read by all, at any age.’ Following publication of that book, a Growing Old Disgracefully Network was established and there are now branches all over the country and abroad.
On the front cover, pictured left to right, are Shirley Meredeen, Mary Cooper, Barbara Tayler, Edith Redstone, Anne Woolf and Maxine Myers of The Hen Co-op.
