How Old is Beautiful?

I bought an interesting book today. It is called How Old is Beautiful? and written by Marsha Gallagher. The fascinating thing about the book is that it was written entirely by assembling bits and pieces from women's magazines; headlines from articles, phrases from ads, quips and quotes. She takes the words of many women and turns them into her book.

I love what she has done with the phrases. She tells the story of woman coming of age; of woman finding herself, her inner strength. The secret as she sees it is first woman celebrates the changes in her life. "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." The power of change is in woman's hands. As woman embraces her maturity she learns to believe in herself, in her own style. This belief will free her, will inspire her and open her up to new possibilities. The author suggests woman should see themselves as young, restless, ageless, brilliant, fabulous and well-dress. And above all strong. To feel young again she suggests dusting off your dream. Live more. Be adventurous. We know the truth. We know we can't stay forever young, but we can be thankful we are woman.
