Yet through it all, she has long wondered, Why aren't women, like men, encouraged to keep adventuring into old age? Tough broad is her quest to understand not just how to live a dynamic life in a changing body, but why we must. She dives deep into the current research on aging, and highlights the results with the stories of women like ninety-three- year-old hiker Dot Fisher-Smith, eighty-year-old scuba diver Louise Wholey, fifty-two-year-old BASE jumper Shawn Brokemond, sixty-four-year-old birdwatcher Virginia Rose, and the many septuagenarian Wave Chasers who boogie board together in the San Diego surf. These women aren't experts. But their experiences, supported by scientific studies, offer important insight into our own physical and emotional health as we age, showing that growing older is no reason for women to sell themselves short. Tough Broad is a high-spirited call for women to embrace the out-doors, not back away from it, in our fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond, casting our own futures in a new and dazzling light." 650 0 $a Women adventurers. 650 0 $a Older women $x Aging. 650 0 $a Outdoor recreation for women. 941 $a 6 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010200.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240523010137.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20240510010213.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011614.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012850.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012802.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99E37712F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
