In her newest book, a memoir entitled\u003ci\u003e Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties\u003c\/i\u003e, the topic is aging, but she looks well beyond the physical tolls and explores the emotional ones as well. And she has had an extraordinary life: governor, ambassador, feminist, wife, mother, professor, poet, and much, much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs recently reported in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times,\u003c\/i\u003e a girl born today can expect to live to the age of ninety, on average (boys, on the other hand, can expect to live until age eighty-five). Life expectancy, for many, is increasing, yet people rarely contemplate the emotional changes that come alongside the physical changes of aging. Madeleine wants to change that. \u003ci\u003eComing of Age: My Journey to the Eighties\u003c\/i\u003e takes a close and incisive look at what it is like to grow old. The book is a memoir, yet most important of all, it is an honest and positive look at aging and how it has affected her life. \u003cbr\u003eCover photo  Todd Lockwood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924773912734,"sku":"ING-9781732854086","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781732854086.jpg?v=1782953255","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781732854086","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
