1.   Wise Women : A Celebration of Their Insights, Courage and Beauty

    by Joyce Tenneson (Paperback - 2002)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars

  

     A zena moon Essential Book

From Amazon.com: In ancient times, older women were the keepers of primal mysteries and were revered for their special wisdom. For this very special book, Joyce Tenneson traveled throughout America to photograph and interview women ages 65 to l00. What she found was a revelation--women who were vital, energetic, and deeply beautiful, inside and out. The 80 portraits are of women from all walks of life from the famous, such as Sandra Day O'Connor, Julie Harris, and Angela Lansbury, to the ordinary, such as our mothers and grandmothers. Tenneson's compelling and compassionate portraits, accompanied by short poignant statements from these remarkable women about the experience of aging, will help to reawaken us to the power and wisdom of our elders.
 

 

2.   The Wisdom of Menopause

    by Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Paperback - 2003)

    Avg. Customer Rating: 3.6 out of 5 stars

 

   From Amazon.com: Menopause doesn't have to be a dreaded curse of aging during which we can look forward only to hot flashes and whacked-out hormonal mood swings. According to Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom), menopause often marks the beginning of a woman's most sexually passionate, creatively inspired, and professionally productive phase of life. While this may sound like wishful thinking, Northrup backs up her good news with solid medical expertise. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, Northrup has specialized in using a mind-body approach to women's health for decades, which means she doesn't just write about hormones, but also examines how a woman's lifestyle, emotions, and beliefs are affected by menopause. With the right diet, attitude, and perhaps some supplements along the way, women can actually look forward to a resurgence of energy and a revolutionary opportunity for personal growth--one that rivals the hormonally driven period of adolescence in its scope and urgency, she claims. And yes, at just under 500 pages, The Wisdom of Menopause does explain how to have a positive and healthy menopause in concise detail. Northrup has indeed "written the book" on menopause.

 

 

3.  The Silent Passage : Revised and Updated Edition

    by Gail Sheehy (Paperback - 1998)

In this updated and expanded edition, she presents essential new data in chapters on The Perimenopause Panic, Menopause in the Workplace, Estrogen and Brainpower, and New Frontiers in Treatment. Candid, enlightening, inspiring, and witty, with the latest information on everything from early menopause to Chinese medicine and natural remedies, The Silent Passage is an indispensable reference for every woman.

1.   Hot Flash

    ~ Saffire : Uppity Blues Women (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1991

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Hot Flash serves up a funky dish of eclectic blues from slow to fast and in between. I don't think I can pick out a favorite, as all of the cuts are fantastic. "Tom Cat Blues" written by Anne Rabson is one of the ones I listen to twice sometimes but then that is true of the entire album. These ladies sign, seal and deliver, with a bang, old blues standards and new stuff that makes any blues fan want to move their feet. Ann's piano, Gaye's Guitar and harmonica and Andrea's various instruments along with their voices produce a heavenly boogie that turns the blues into something to shout about.
 

 

2.   Bette Midler - Greatest Hits - Experience the Divine

   ~ Bette Midler (Audio CD)

    Original Release Date: 1993

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: From her early days in the bathhouses to her rise as the star of her own concert film, Bette Midler has always brought a campy playfulness to her performances. Experience the Divine focuses on her radio hits for the bulk of its resources, although the kicky "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" is here. Midler's voice easily adapts itself to the material she's performing: "When a Man Loves a Woman" is charged with a raw sensuality whereas "In My Life," is as tender as a lullaby. The recent standards are here, "From a Distance" and "Wind Beneath My Wings," along with her star-making turn, "The Rose." Whether she's handling Cole Porter ("Miss Otis Regrets") or the Beatles, Bette Midler's voice is dynamic and expressive, according to the needs of the song. This astute ability to interpret without always going for the kill makes her versions of her chosen material some of the best ever recorded.

 

 

3.   Saving Grace (2000 Film) [SOUNDTRACK] [IMPORT]

    ~ Various Artists

    Original Release Date: 2001

    Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: Import exclusive soundtrack to critically acclaimed British comedy starring Academy Award winner Brenda Blethyn, originally released in 2000. Featuring a score from Mark Russell along with tracks from The Pretenders, Robert Palmer, Filter, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, Norman Greenbaum and more.

1.   Calendar Girls

    Starring: Helen Mirren, Julie Walters

    (2003) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars

 

From Amazon.com: In the sensible yet elegant hands of actresses Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, Calendar Girls walks a fine line between sappiness and snickering and ends up both wonderfully funny and gently touching. When her best friend Annie (Walters, Billy Elliot) loses her husband, Chris (Mirren, Prime Suspect, Gosford Park) cooks up a scheme to memorialize him: They and their friends--all fiftysomething women--will make a nude calendar to raise money for the hospital where he died. The calendar becomes hugely popular, but the success may drive a wedge between the two women's friendship. Based on an actual event, Calendar Girls carefully balances the stories of several women as it follows the calendar's media explosion, becoming a surprisingly moving fable of loss, determination, and the perils of fame. And let's face it--Helen Mirren is one of the wittiest and sexiest women alive, clothes on or not.

 

 

2.   Something's Gotta Give

    Starring: Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson

     (2003) ~ DVD

     Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
 

From Amazon.com: As upscale sitcoms go, Something's Gotta Give has more to offer than most romantic comedies. Obviously working through some semi-autobiographical issues regarding women of a certain age, writer-director Nancy Meyers brings adequate credibility and above-average intelligence to what is essentially (but not exclusively) a fantasy premise, in which an aging lothario who's always dated younger women (Jack Nicholson, more or less playing himself) falls for a successful middle-aged playwright (Diane Keaton) who's convinced she's past the age of romance, much less sexual reawakening. As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma or discovering their mutual desire, Something's Gotta Give is terrific, proving (in case anyone had forgotten) that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. Myers falls short with the sitcom device of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wants Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it's believable but shallow and too easily dismissed. Myers also skimps on supporting roles for Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, and Jon Favreau, but thankfully this is one romantic comedy that doesn't pander to youth.

 

 

3.   Strangers in Good Company

    Starring: Alice Diabo, et al

    (1991) ~ DVD

    Avg. Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars

 

A zena moon Essential Movie

From Amazon.com: This touching, 1991 Canadian film directed by Cynthia Scott takes the unusual step of casting nonprofessional actors, and the gamble pays off very well indeed. The story concerns eight elderly women whose tour bus breaks down driving through the wilderness. While waiting to be rescued, they find an abandoned house and look for food. The days and nights they end up spending away from civilization prove restorative to their spirits as each character gets an opportunity to tell her life story. The ensemble cast, as it turns out, essentially plays themselves in the film: the tales they tell are truly their own. A very talky, slowly paced production, it's best to get into the gentle rhythm of Scott's design and let the experience flow in the same way it does for the performers.
