Jacinta Parsons - A Wisdom of Age
Wednesday 25 June 2025 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (UTC+10)
An uplifting, inspiring book about the wisdom of older women - and what we can learn from them to rewrite the story of the second half of our lives.
A Wisdom of Age was sparked by the many conversations Jacinta Parsons has had with older women from right around the country about the experience of being a woman and ageing. Over the course of these encounters, it became clear to Jacinta that the conversation about ageing for women is alive and bubbling with a kind of excitement - that is, women are ready to do ageing differently.
In this book, Jacinta talks to the older women who inspire her, the women who are doing this ageing thing right, mining the wisdom direct from those that know how to do it well. Drawing from the experiences of everyday older women from every walk of life, Jacinta reflects on conversations she's been having about the 'wisdoms' of ageing, asking: now that we know what's held us back and who has controlled this narrative, how can we do this better?
Book sales and author signings will be offered at this event.
