In her newest book, a memoir entitled\u003ci\u003e Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties\u003c\/i\u003e, the topic is aging, but she looks well beyond the physical tolls and explores the emotional ones as well. And she has had an extraordinary life: governor, ambassador, feminist, wife, mother, professor, poet, and much, much more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs recently reported in the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, \u003c\/i\u003e a girl born today can expect to live to the age of ninety, on average (boys, on the other hand, can expect to live until age eighty-five). Life expectancy, for many, is increasing, yet people rarely contemplate the emotional changes that come alongside the physical changes of aging. Madeleine wants to change that. \u003ci\u003eComing of Age: My Journey to the Eighties\u003c\/i\u003e takes a close and incisive look at what it is like to grow old. The book is a memoir, yet most important of all, it is an honest and positive look at aging and how it has affected her life. \u003cbr\u003eCover photo (c) Todd Lockwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Green Writers Press","offers":[{"title":"Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties | Madeleine May Kunin | Hardcover | 9780999499597 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1637758 (temp: 28)","offer_id":49287673544856,"sku":"1637758","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61y5F8PloEL.jpg?v=1781895863","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/coming-of-age-my-journey-to-the-eighties","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
