Join in our 3-month Book Club and read Jacinta Parsons’ latest book, A Wisdom of Age, along with Rachael and Jacquie. Each month – over August, September and October – Rachael and Jacquie will be discussing their thoughts on the book and relate it to our community. Will you join in the discussion?

About the book

A Wisdom of Age was sparked by the many conversations Jacinta Parsons has had recently with older women right around the country about the experience of being a woman and ageing. Over the course of these encounters, it became clear to Jacinta that the conversation about ageing for women is alive and bubbling with a kind of excitement – that is, women are ready to do ageing differently.

Capturing the brewing tone of revolution that sits in the hearts of middle-aged and older women, A Wisdom of Age tells a different story about ageing – a story about reclaiming the fierce girl we have inside us; about an unapologetic taking up of space; about speaking out and re-finding our confidence; and finally, about wisdom.
