Yet through it all, she has long wondered, \u003ci\u003eWhy aren't women, like men, encouraged to keep adventuring into old age? \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eTough Broad\u003c\/i\u003e is her quest to understand not just how to live a dynamic life in a changing body, but why we must. She dives deep into the current research on aging, and highlights the results with the stories of women like ninety-three-year-old hiker Dot Fisher-Smith, eighty-year-old scuba diver Louise Wholey, fifty-two-year-old BASE jumper Shawn Brokemond, sixty-four-year-old birdwatcher Virginia Rose, and the many septuagenarian Wave Chasers who boogie board together in the San Diego surf. These women aren't experts. But their experiences and the scientific studies that back them up offer important insight into our own physical and emotional health as we age, showing that growing older is no reason for women to sell themselves short. \u003ci\u003eTough Broad\u003c\/i\u003e is a high-spirited call for women to embrace the outdoors, not back away from it, in our fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond, casting our own futures in a new and dazzling light\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking--How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age | Caroline Paul | Hardcover | 9781635576498 | Used: Like New | Sports Writing 1758871 (temp: 27)","offer_id":49192318501016,"sku":"1758871","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81mWa9s2ZQL_fc957bfe-ba3d-453f-85f0-c6eef40e3d5d.jpg?v=1780517008","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/tough-broad-from-boogie-boarding-to-wing-walking-how-outdoor-adventure-improves-our-lives-as-we-age-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
