First published in 1964, this chronicle illustrated how the journey toward childbirth became a liberating experience for Charlotte Painter. At a time when women were learning how to free themselves from so many of the restrictions of the past, she kept personal records of her impulses and adventures of both mind and heart. Ultimately she transformed her experiences into what would become an intimately personal expression gathered into a personal narrative of childbirth for both women and men.

(Writer Charlotte Painter and artist/photographer Pamela V...)
Writer Charlotte Painter and artist/photographer Pamela Valois have combined their impressive talents to present these intimate glimpses into the lives of thirty-two remarkable women, each of whom has discovered in maturity the opportunity of exploring new and exciting challenges. These are the Gifts of Age: the time, the freedom, and hopefully the wisdom to develop creative new images of oneself and one's place in the complexities of a long life. All of the women in this book are more than sixty-five years of age, and included are such well-known personalities as Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, Joan Baez Senior, and Louise M. Davies. No two have followed the same path, but each has been successful in achieving some new, frequently unanticipated distinction in her latter years. Gifts of Age is a fascinating insight into just how productive one's extended life can be, and inspiration for anyone who believes that the creative talent for living need not diminish with the passage of years.
