Description
Brooke Shields offers an intimate and empowering exploration of ageing that challenges conventional ideas about what it means for a woman to grow older. Having spent a lifetime in the public eye as a child actor and model, with every feature scrutinised and every decision judged, Brooke now faces the scrutiny directed at a woman of a certain age. Yet she sees the passage of time as a source of freedom, feeling more comfortable in her skin, empowered and confident at fifty-nine than she did decades ago in her famous Calvin Kleins. Drawing on her own experiences with humour and humility, as well as research and reporting, she challenges age-related bias and the systemic factors behind it. Brooke presents an optimistic portrait of women in the prime of life, arguing that these are the years when they can decide how to live and write their own stories. Her candid and vulnerable account aims to inspire a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.
