5.0 out of 5 stars Cause for Celebration, April 10, 2002

By	Carol Wheeler "c.e.wheeler@verizon.net" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

If there was any doubt that 50 is the new 40, this book lays it to rest (not only that but since 40 is the new, um, 35, it gets better and better). Luckily, MORE's editors have not relied only on celebrities for this celebration (although there are plenty of those here)--they've also chosen a wonderful mix of women--famous and obscure; white and of color; a bit tawdry--Sydney Biddle Barrows, all the way up to wholly self-sacrificing--a minister who devotes much of her time to caring for her Alzheimer-stricken mother. There are even overweight women in these pages--and they have wonderful lives!

A book like this confirms the myriad possibilities open to 50-and- over women of any color, shape or background right now right here--but it's not only inspiring, it's also a good read. You get the inside scoop on movie stars, corporate executives, athletes, TV anchors, students, explorers--all women over 50. And each story is written in the fresh, bright, savvy, lively style that MORE is known for. What More could you ask?

5.0 out of 5 stars Talk about a celebration!, April 11, 2002

By A Customer

What a great gift for all of us approaching 50...this collection of very personal stories is inspiring! Fifty famous women, accomplished women and just-plain-old-regular women remind us how great it is to be alive, healthy and loving life. Not one of them would trade the inexperience and beauty of youth for the freedom and wrinkles of their mid-lives. Once you have studied their magnificent faces and devoured their individual stories, you'll want to stand up and cheer: Let's go girls! Hooray!

4.0 out of 5 stars Joining the club, May 14, 2002

By A Customer

As one just becoming a member of the Fifty-and-Going-Strong Club, I found this book a wonderful and appropriate birthday gift. The women selected represent a variety of success stories and life-style choices and left me tantalized - hungry for more information about each of them. They look terrific, value balance in their lives, look forward to the future, and make me proud to be a baby-boomer-woman-mother-professional woman. Fifty CELEBRATE Fify, indeed! Twenty- and thirty-somethings, check it out.
