Florida Pier Scott-Maxwell (1883-1979) was a writer, playwright, and suffragist who took up a career in analytical psychology in 1933, studying under Carl Jung in both Scotland and England.
What a pleasure it was to read this book! Dr. Scott-Maxwell's book brings the aging process into consciousness, with seminal thoughts reflecting on Jungian ideas (opposite natures, inner-outer experiences, differentiation, the unconscious and God). The book is written in a format of a personal, meditation essays. Noted author Alice Walker said in an NPR interview (April 26th, 2004), that the grandmother spirit, the "cinder grandmother", is missing in our culture. Florida Pier Scott-Maxwell is a voice that should be heard.

If there were only one book i could take with me on the last leg of this earthly journey, it would be this one. This is an unflinching view of life from the vantage point of very old age.

I can understand how young people might not relate to this book, but I found it reflecting many of my own journal entries (I'm in my later 60s). Her perceptions of the changing world, as well as her inner world, were insightful and thoughtful. It must be remembered that the book is a compilation of notes she would jot down as they came to her. She's sharing what her experience of aging is; it's a very personal, rich, intimate book which I found very special. I would like to have known this woman.
