CONTENT: Illicit love, madness, betrayal--it isn't always good to be the queen Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, and Mary, Queen of Scots. What did they have in common? For a while they were crowned in gold, cosseted in silk, and flattered by courtiers. But in the end, they spent long nights in dark prison towers and were marched to the scaffold where they surrendered their heads to the executioner.

CONTENT: Americans have always had a complicated relationship with aging: embrace, deny it, defer it - and women have been on the front lines of this battle, willingly or not.

This is an expertly researched, lively social history of American women and aging, filled with colorful anecdotes and larger-than-life cast of characters - some I bet you have never heard of but will love meeting. Collins gives women a reason to expect the best from what's to come.
