"""A wise and honest book. Profoundly important to the sustainability of of our species and world."" --Alice Walker""Crones Don't Whine is a delightful and profound handbook for crones and would-be crones filled with wisdom, humor, passion, and just plain good advice. Don't even think of growing old without it! Thanks for this gift, Jean!"" --Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, author of Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessings ""Women over fifty are a country to which this youth-obsessed culture has few guides. Whether we're living there now or hope to be, Jean Shinoda Bolen gives us signposts to this land of wisdom, joy, freedom, and leadership."" --Gloria Steinem ""For women there is nothing more liberating than age if we learn to use our energy, power, and compassion. According to Jean Shinoda Bolen, mature women can be happier than ever before and if we work together, we can change the world. This is a lighthearted manual on how to become a juicy and wise old woman. I certainly want to be one of those crones who doesn't whine!"" --Isabel Allende ""Her humor so available, her wisdom so needed--speaking as a crone, that is!"" --Olympia Dukakis ""Cronedom is a territory we are only now learning how to inhabit. Jean Bolen's call to crones provides an enticing right of passage."" --Marion Woodman, author of Bone: Dying into Life"
