'There can be a perverse pleasure,as well as a sense of rightness and beauty,in insisting on flowering just when the world expects you to become quiet and diminish.' - Sharon Blackie
For any woman over fifty who has ever asked'What now Who do I want to be'comes a life-changing new book showing how your second half may be your most dynamic yet. Rich with the combination of myth,landscape and eco-feminism that took her earlier work If Women Rose Rooted to cult status,Hagitude reclaims the mid years as a liberating,alchemical moment - from which to shift into your chosen,authentic and fulfilling future.
Drawing inspiration from mythic figures and archetypes ranging from the Wise Woman and the Creatrix to the Henwife and the Trickster,as well as modern mentors,Sharon Blackie radically rewrites the future for women in their mid and elder years.
