Summary:
In this personal collection of essays, Butler chronicles her experience moving from aging to old, remembering and forgetting all the wrong things, feeling frustrated with technology, keeping up with the avalanche of cultural and political news, mothering two middle-aged daughters, surveying her old body, and ultimately, preparing for her death... Old women are cast aside in white American culture, Butler argues, and it's both disheartening and disrespectful. Butler is not a senior--she's a mother, a lesbian, a Jew, a feminist, and at times, a 'rabble-rousing hectorer.' And now that her time is running out, Butler dosen't mess around with things that don't matter. She is supremely motivated, and she's so much braver than ever before.
