A Wisdom of Age with Jacinta Parsons

A Wisdom of Age was sparked by the many conversations Jacinta Parsons has had recently with older women right around the country about the experience of being a woman and ageing. Over the course of these encounters, it became clear to Jacinta that the conversation about ageing for women is alive and bubbling with a kind of excitement - that is, women are ready to do ageing differently. 
 
For this book, Jacinta mines wisdom directly from those who know how to do it well, those older women who say, This is what feels good. 
 
Capturing the brewing tone of revolution that sits in the hearts of middle-aged and older women, A Wisdom of Age tells a different story about ageing - a story about reclaiming the fierce girl we have inside us; about an unapologetic taking up of space; about speaking out and re-finding our confidence; and finally, about wisdom.

Jacinta will be joined by Brian Nankervis for a for an evening of entertainment and thought-provoking discussion about life and her new book.
