The glory of growing older is the freedom to be more truly ourselves—with age we gain the liberty to pursue bold new endeavors and worry less about what other people think. In this richly illustrated volume, bestselling author and artist Lisa Congdon explores the power of women over the age of forty who are thriving and living life on their own terms. Profiles, interviews, and essays from women—including Vera Wang, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Julia Child, Cheryl Strayed, and many more—who've found creative fulfillment and accomplished great things in the second half of their lives are lavishly illustrated and hand-lettered in Congdon's signature style. The perfect gift for women of all ages, A Glorious Freedom celebrates extraordinary lives and redefines what it means to gain wisdom and maturity.

"Congdon's new book, A Glorious Freedom praises women over 40 who are thriving, like environmental writer Ronnie Citron-Fink who describes accepting her true roots ; and author Cheryl Strayed who says: The fear of getting older is about the false notion that one's power was rooted in the things that youth offers us. Our power is never about how pretty we are our power is about how we live our lives. Start living it. An inspiring and freeing read for all." ----Psychologies Magazine
"This fabulous book about women thriving over 40 is a barnstorming retort to those who cut older women out of the picture. Pick it up for interviews, profiles and essays with the likes of Helen Gurley Brown and Heather Armstrong." ----Red Magazine
'We hear all the time that women become invisible after 40, but not in this book. Lisa Congdon captures the beauty and humanity of getting older, wiser, and--in many ways--freer.' --Andi Zeisler, cofounder, Bitch Media
'You cannot capture the beauty of being a woman coming into her own power without art. No one knows that better or does that better than Lisa Congdon. A Glorious Freedom captures the spirit of what it means to show up, be seen, and be free.' ----Brene Brown, Ph.D., author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller, Rising Strong
