THE INVISIBLE WOMAN
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN is a funny, frank and essential book on ageing. Helen discusses what it is to reach your fifties, look both backwards and forwards, and how to continue pursuing adventures in later life even when it seems your brain and body are against you.
From the author of the Guardian's popular The Vintage Years' column comes a rallying call urging women not to surrender their voice or identity in their golden years
Older women are permitted to be either part of the slippers and cardigans brigade, or to cling desperately to their youth and insist on being young at heart'. Can't there be a third way? A way to age with grace, security, beauty and adventure, and a way to keep your identity against a growing tide of voices telling you how you'd be happier if only you looked ten years younger. Covering topics from family, finances and work, to cosmetics, fashion and sex, THE INVISIBLE WOMAN which is also Helen's Guardian column nom de plume is a new sort of book about ageing; one that teaches us not how to avoid it, but how to enjoy it, grow with it, and thrive.
Helen, writing as The Invisible Woman, is a freelance writer and author of the popular online fashion column The Vintage Years, which she writes for the Guardian.
Helen has written a variety of opinion pieces for the "Guardian" and is a regular contributor to the 'In praise of ' column. She has spoken out against ageism on "Woman's Hour" and BBC radio. She has filmed and edited several short films both independently and for the and was commissioned to write pieces for "The Guardian Guide to Making Video. A lover of good food she has also reviewed for the Square Meal Guide and magazine.
