| Abstract: Angelika Aliti sees a magical significance in being seven times seven years
old - she sees women over 50 as being at the zenith of life. After they have wandered for
years through the "forest of importances", women now look back on their life so
far with blithe self-assurance, plumbing the possibilities that they have left hitherto
unexplored. They bid farewell with pleasure to hypocrisy and welcome their new-won
freedom. They are no longer expected to be "nice" and "cute". This is
a cheeky book which is designed to give women courage to live the years before them to the
full, and to help them overcome the hang-ups that dominated their earlier years and made
them susceptible to all kinds of pressures. |
