-Gloria Steinem "Suzanne Braun Levine's honest and empowering book is the antidote to all those anti-aging creams and glum pronouncements about life after fifty. It explains why for me and for so many other women, this has turned out to be the most free, creative, and rewarding time of life." -Isabella Rossellini "Fifty is the New Fifty is just what I expected from Suzanne Braun Levine-useful, comforting and smart." -Jane Fonda "Finally, fifty comes of age! Levine's concept of Second Adulthood confirms what women have been telling one another in private-this is a wonderful stage and we can each claim it in our own way." -Marlo Thomas |
