Paperback. Message to previous owner signed by the author. In this sequel to her much praised autobiography Forgetting's No Exuse, Mary Stott, whose life spans almost the century, reflects on growing older and the dramatic changes she has witnessed. As a lifelong feminist, she has a fascinating perspective on the modern women's movement, and the contribution which women of her generation have made to it. As a mother and grandmother, she writes movingly of the changes she has seen in family life, in relationships between men and women, and women and women, and in attitudes to the elderly. And as a journalist of nearly sixty years she offers a courageous critique of the media - as it was, as it is, and as it might become. A wonderful blend of reminiscence and controversy, this is the story of a women of determination and compassion, one of the most influential journalists and campaigners of our time. 246 pp.
