What will you be doing BEYOND 70? Far from the stereotypical views of older life being a time of decline, this inspiring collection of interviews with 21 creative women on the cusp of turning age 70 or older affirms that life in the "third act" is often a period of vitality, growth, courage, new possibilities, and even reawakening. Painting, photography, storytelling, mixed media and collage, music, artists' books, writing, and sculpture are some of the various forms of creativity discussed along with the history and evolution of each woman's artistic life. Through the power of personal narratives, this collection works against discrimination based on age and gender. The diverse women artists of BEYOND 70, ranging in age from 68 through 97, offer their stories as important contributions to the literature on creativity, artists' lives, women's studies/feminism, and aging.

Chosen libraries reflect the communities they serve as well as their particular missions. Entries include contact information for the selected library, a website address, and information regarding its size, circulation and the extent of its collection.
