Glorious age: growing older gloriously (1993), 1992-93

Component identifier:

Series 9

Content Summary:

Glorious age was the third in the series 'Women's voices, women's lives'. Published in 1993, the idea of the book was that with age comes confidence and that ageing can be joyous, creative and powerful. The book consists of twenty-two women living in Australia aged between 35 and 89 talking about growing older.

The series includes general correspondence associated with the publication of the book, contributors' envelopes containing drafts, edited drafts and correspondence, and copies of the manuscript compiled at the end of the editing process. The Library rearranged the general correspondence related to Glorious age into chronological order; most of this correspondence is information copies of publishing and publicity arrangements.

Immediate source of acquisition:

The originals consignment was donated by Dr Jocelynne Scutt to the National Library in three instalments under the Taxation Incentives for the Arts Scheme in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
