About
A powerful exploration of the financial realities women face as they age - and the resilience, reinvention, and relationships that sustain them.
Women are living longer than ever, but for many, those extra years come with financial uncertainty. This book tells the stories of women who, after raising children, managing households, and working in fulfilling careers, find themselves now alone and surviving on the edge.
A national housing crisis hits harder when the gender pension gap leaves women with significantly less retirement income than men, but this crisis isn't inevitable. A CEO, a legal scholar, and a feminist economist offer essential advice on careers, pensions, and relationships, while the voice of a young writer from Lainey Gossip reveals why financial independence is non-negotiable.
This book looks at how women can embrace this new longevity with strength and purpose. A wake-up call for women of all ages, it is an inspiring testament to the lasting social and economic contributions of women.
The astonishing lives of older women are not defined by money or men. They are defined by resilience, purpose, desire, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship. The Astonishing Lives of Older Women offers cautionary tales from courageous women and practical financial insights to empower women in navigating career choices, family duties, and long-term financial planning with confidence and awareness as they age.
Moira Welsh is an award-winning Toronto Star journalist and leader of the Star's Third Act Project, which challenges governments, policymakers, and institutions to improve the way we live in our later years. An investigative reporter for years, Welsh lives in Toronto and is the mother of two wonderful young men.

• A PLATFORM FOR THE OFTEN-UNHEARD VOICES OF OLDER WOMEN: The book explores the astonishing and very rich, whole lives of older women and how they've found ways to thrive as they age.
