Living Life E Irene Theis

"Living Life: From Nine to Ninety" Please note: This is the black and white photograph version of this book. There is also a full-color version, and an eBook version. This is one woman's story of discrimination and violence against women, but it mirrors the lives of many women over the past 90 years. She talks about her struggles raising five children in the 50's and 60"s when there were no resources as domestic violence was not addressed by the church, law enforcement or even the courts. She became an advocate. She began by improving her marketability in the business world by graduating from Metropolitan State University at age 66, and joining BPW, a vehicle for women's growth and support. How she coped with life and the effects on her children are addressed and how they, through her guidance, were able to eventually live productive lives despite what they went through. By spending much of her later life working to help other women, she was able to rise above her pain and become healthy and happy. She at 90 encourages other women to work for equality and fairness and become healthy and wealthy women who help others.
