The glory of growing older is the freedom to be more truly ourselves—with age we gain the liberty to pursue bold new endeavors and worry less about what other people think. In this richly illustrated volume, bestselling author and artist Lisa Congdon explores the power of women over the age of forty who are thriving and living life on their own terms. Profiles, interviews, and essays from women—including Vera Wang, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Julia Child, Cheryl Strayed, and many more—who've found creative fulfillment and accomplished great things in the second half of their lives are lavishly illustrated and hand-lettered in Congdon's signature style. The perfect gift for women of all ages,A Glorious Freedomcelebrates extraordinary lives and redefines what it means to gain wisdom and maturity.Lisa Congdon is an author, illustrator, and fine artist. Her other books includeWhatever You Are be a Good One;Art, Inc.;Fortune Favors the Brave; andThe Joy of Swimming, also from Chronicle Books. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
