The Power Age
A Blueprint for Maturing with Style
by Kelly Doust
What if experience always trumped youth? Or if there was more appreciation for the style and confidence that comes with age?
Like fine wine, women improve with age, growing in financial, sexual, and spiritual power every year. So why spend your second act collecting dust or invisible on the sidelines? With this exquisite full-color volume you’ll learn how to age like a pro.
Candid, empowering guidance and dozens of interviews with style icons, world leaders, entrepreneurs, and entertainers who’ve made an art of growing older will show you that you are never too old to embark on an international or spiritual journey, to create a vibrant wardrobe filled with statement pieces, or to take the reins of your career and investments. With refreshing wisdom on how to manage everything from menopause, money, and mentorship to sex, stress, and skincare, The Power Age is like chatting with a circle of witty and wonderful friends and sisters. No topic–faith, grief, health, or finances–is off the table and no question is too sensitive to ask.
Original illustrations highlighting more than fifty iconic power age women, such as Julia Roberts, Grace Coddington, Michelle Obama, Iris Apfel, and more, appear side by side with pragmatic tips on keeping fit and healthy, embracing travel and adventure, and practicing self-care and reflection, ensuring that the best opportunities for pleasure, freedom, and expression are yet to come.

Praise for The Power Age
“Not older—better!” —Kirstie Clements, Former Editor in Chief of Vogue
“This eclectic survey of women who followed their passions will encourage and inspire.” —Publishers Weekly
“Illustrations of luminaries such as Michelle Obama, Patti Smith and Zadie Smith are a delightful feature of The Power Age: A Blueprint for Maturing With Style, but it’s the interviews with a wide range of inspiring, accomplished women—all over 40 and most of them 50-plus—that make me want to buy a copy of this book for every one of my girlfriends.” —BookPage, STAR REVIEW
