Title: Women Rowing North Pdf Navigating Life
Women growing older contend with ageism, misogyny, and loss. Yet as Mary Pipher shows, most older women are deeply happy and filled with gratitude for the gifts of life. Their struggles help them grow into the authentic, empathetic, and wise people they have always wanted to be.
In Women Rowing North, Pipher offers a timely examination of the cultural and developmental issues women face as they age. Drawing on her own experience as daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, caregiver, clinical psychologist, and cultural anthropologist, she explores ways women can cultivate resilient responses to the challenges they face. "If we can keep our wits about us, think clearly, and manage our emotions skillfully," Pipher writes, "we will experience a joyous time of our lives. If we have planned carefully and packed properly, if we have good maps and guides, the journey can be transcendent."
examination of the issues facing aging women Women Rowing North: Navigating Life's Currents and Flourishing As We Age by Mary Pipher is a highly recommended examination of the issues facing aging women.Pipher tackles the cultural, personal, social, and developmental issues and challenges women face as they age and explores ways women can cultivate happiness through their responses. She shares stories from women in a variety of circumstances, backgrounds, and economic circumstances, and demonstrates how their struggles result in them becoming authentic, empathetic, and wise people. The summary of her encouraging advice is that happiness is a choice and skill set you can develop as you live a life of authenticity, gratitude, and adaptingIn Women Rowing North Pipher doesn't shy away from the problems older women face, including health issues, ageism, loneliness, misogyny, lookism, caregiving, and loss. She notes that: "Old women in America suffer a social disease. For us, ageism may be an even more serious challenge than aging." She offers practical advice and suggestions as she shares the stories of the various women interviewed and featured along with her own personal journey in the book. She purposes that: "One of the great gifts of our later years is the possibility of authenticity....which comes from growing out of fears into wholeness."She divides the book into three sections. The first section deals with the challenges that may face aging women. The second discusses the skills women need to navigate aging, with the ability to adapt being pivotal. The third section discusses the importance of relationships. Pipher realistically points out that, "We do not need to like all of our family members. Who does? Especially as we get older, we can select the people who we want to consider as family....No matter what our families are like or how difficult people are to get along with, we can almost always find at least one person to love."Pipher has a calm, affirming writing style and this book should have a wide appeal to women approaching or in their sixties and beyond. While her advice won't apply to every aging woman, it does provide a platform for individuals to chart their own course, set boundaries, confront obstacles, and make their way through this time of life. "We can set priorities and separate the essential from the nonessential. We can ask, 'Am I spending my time in accordance with my values?'... Each of us has the freedom to decide what is essential."Disclosure: My review copy was courtesy of BloomsburyPaddle Gentley and Move Forward Strong This book is not promising perfection, but rather engagement in a process that will make us happier, says the author. And it delivers on that promise. She goes on to say that as our bodies age, our souls can expand. It’s a beautifully written and realistic book that outlines becoming an older woman. We follow her journey and other women of a similar age, but with different circumstances through their life journey.It’s hard to classify. It’s a memoir, it’s a cultural statement, and it’s inspiring and full of hope. At times it reads like your favorite minister at their pulpit. Other times it reads like a proud grandma and then it becomes a culture opinion and self-help piece. All of it flows seamlessly and is beautifully written and brought me to tears a handful of times.As I continue my journey rowing north, I will continue to refer to the book and have already passed it on to my friends.Awe Some Her talk of changing bodies, ageism, death. Beautiful intimate death experiences, life narratives, families, --- ending with bliss, illumination and awe. and then some, has turned my world upside down. Life after death and crappy health issues. So much hope where I thought there was none.
