<p>"<em>You're Doing</em> <strong><em>What</em></strong>? is an inspirational and insightful call to action to its readers. These stories are certain to encourage women - and men - of all ages to view aging as an opportunity to act on long deferred or never before-imagined dreams." - Congresswoman <strong>Barbara Lee</strong></p><p>"How refreshing it is to sample a collection of essays by women of a certain age who ignored biases and barriers that discriminate against women, gave themselves permission to climb steep mountains, tore up the rulebook of tradition, and launched their own search for adventure, discovery, and meaning. Their stories are as unique as each of these women." - <strong>Eleanor Coppola</strong>, filmmaker, writer, artist</p><p>"Marjorie Lasky's book is a revelation, an entertaining read and perfect retort to all who wrongly assume that age renders women useless and incapable. These thoughtful, frank, and inspiring essays by older women show how human spirit can transcend age as they take on new challenges and adventures head-on and full of heart." - <strong>Helen Zia</strong>, former Executive Editor of <em>Ms. magazine</em> and author of the forthcoming book <em>Last Boat out of Shanghai</em></p><p>"Being a man who believes women, on average, have more skills than men in the areas that count the most for growing older - intimacy, deep friendship, networking, caring for - I look to women to help define our way forward, just as I have done since the sixties in pursuit of gender equity in family life as well as in the workplace. The kids are grown, work is a memory, where to from here? This book provides poignant stories containing the kind of deep wisdom we need to live out our elder journey, together." - <strong>Terry A. Kupers</strong>, M.D., psychiatrist and author of <em>Revisioning Men's Lives </em>and<em> Solitary: The Inside Story of Supermax Isolation and How We Can Abolish It</em></p><p>"To have a 'shout out' for the women over a 'certain age' and how these women reflect their energies, their 'smarts' and their most valuable experiences, is like pushing the 'positive button' for US ALL! Being able to jump up and down with our creative energies and being able to express ourselves is a gift, hopefully to those that follow us!" - <strong>Inez Storer</strong>, painter and mixed-media artist</p><p><em>"You're Doing </em><strong><em>What</em></strong><em>? </em>busts the prevalent myth that growing older means slowing down and retiring to a rocking chair on some musty porch. These women show that re-inventing oneself is a continual option, even well into those 'twilight years.' Pick this book up to motivate you, at any age, to live life to the fullest." <strong><em>- </em>Dale Griffiths Stamos</strong>, playwright, screenwriter, teacher and co-author of<em> RenWomen: What Modern Renaissance Women Have to Teach Us About Living Rich, Fulfilling Lives</em></p><p>"Many women of 'a certain age' tell me that, no longer young, they feel invisible in our culture. So, here in <em>You're Doing</em> <strong><em>What</em></strong><em>? </em>Marjorie Lasky has assembled sixty-plus women who command their visibility. Lasky writes that these are 'stories by older women' - older than what, I have to ask? Younger than springtime!" - <strong>Alan Myerson</strong>, film/TV director, teacher, poet</p><p>"I plan to use this book as my bible." - <strong>Stephanie Lee</strong>, investment advisor, jazz bassist, and rock violinist</p>
