The Astonishing Lives of Older Women

In conversation with Moira Welsh

Women are living longer than ever, but for many, those extra years come with financial uncertainty. The Astonishing Lives of Older Women; How to Create Pleasure over Peril in Peak Longevity, the new book by award-winning Toronto Star journalist Moira Welsh tells the stories of women who, after raising children, managing households, and working fulfilling careers, find themselves alone and surviving on the edge.

This book looks at how women can embrace this new longevity with strength and purpose. A wake-up call for women of all ages, the book is a powerful exploration of the financial realities women face as they age — and the resilience, reinvention and relationships that sustain them.

Join us for an intimate evening to hear from Moira in conversation with Toronto Star editor-in-chief, Nicole MacIntyre.
