Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life

A unique exploration of archetypes, mythology, and psychology as they pertain to women at midlife

Sharon Blackie's books weave psychology, mythology, folklore, and memoir together to uncover archetypes and ways of finding meaning in our lives.  In Hagitude the focus is on women entering or living in the "second half" of their lives.  This book unravels more of her personal story while also covering wide terrain in its study of aging women in storytelling and in history.  Always present in her books is the power and meaning of place, which I've found particularly inspiring -- travelling to places where she's lived including Ireland, Scotland, and Wales (among others).
