In her newest book, a memoir entitled\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;, the topic is aging, but she looks well beyond the physical tolls and explores the emotional ones as well. And she has had an extraordinary life: governor, ambassador, feminist, wife, mother, professor, poet, and much, much more. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;As recently reported in the \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;New York Times, \u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; a girl born today can expect to live to the age of ninety, on average (boys, on the other hand, can expect to live until age eighty-five). Life expectancy, for many, is increasing, yet people rarely contemplate the emotional changes that come alongside the physical changes of aging. Madeleine wants to change that. \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Coming of Age: My Journey to the Eighties\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; takes a close and incisive look at what it is like to grow old. The book is a memoir, yet most important of all, it is an honest and positive look at aging and how it has affected her life. \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Cover photo (c) Todd Lockwood.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081192718505,"sku":"PHBK-9780999499597","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/23632003482543.jpg?v=1779739371","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9780999499597","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
