The glory of growing older is the freedom to be more truly ourselves—with age we gain the liberty to pursue bold new endeavors and worry less about what other people think. In this richly illustrated volume, bestselling author and artist Lisa Congdon explores the power of women over the age of forty who are thriving and living life on their own terms. Profiles, interviews, and essays from women—including Vera Wang, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Julia Child, Cheryl Strayed, and many more—who've found creative fulfillment and accomplished great things in the second half of their lives are lavishly illustrated and hand-lettered in Congdon's signature style. The perfect gift for women of all ages, A Glorious Freedom celebrates extraordinary lives and redefines what it means to gain wisdom and maturity.

    The year this book is published, I will be 49 years old. By profession, I am an artist, an illustrator, and a writer. I did not begin drawing or painting until I was 31 years old. I did not begin my illustration career until I was 40. I did not begin writing regularly until I was 42. I did not publish my first book until I was 44.

    I did not get married until I was 45. I just published my seventh book. My eighth comes out next year.

    Surrender—with its attendant allowing, releasing, and accepting—is the supreme yoga of growing older.

    I can say with confidence that I’m a true yogini now. And because I’m over 50, I can also tell you that yoga provides one of the best approaches to aging with some kind of grace (even though I regularly topple over during balancing poses). Together, yoga and getting older have catalyzed a season of confidence that I don’t think I’d have access to otherwise.
