She demonstrates the grit and courage it takes to outlast life's challenges."— Arianna Huffington“In her bestseller 'PASSAGES,' the journalist Gail Sheehy invented a new way of thinking about the phases of adult life… Women embraced Sheehy's thinking and incorporated it into their expectations. In 1993, she consolidated her theories with a truly gutsy and taboo-breaking book on menopause called ''THE SILENT PASSAGE.'' Sheehy further updated her work with ''NEW PASSAGES'' (1995). Her terminology changed perceptions and put a positive spin on aging.” — New York Times, Elaine Showalter***In 50 years as a writer, Gail has interviewed thousands of women and men and written 17 books.
