Cathryn Michon, The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People) Cissy Wechter, widowed after a long-term marriage, shares what she's learned as a suddenly single "60-something." She draws not only on her own experience jumping back into the dating world after more than 40 years, but also on her survey of senior women across America. Often undervalued by the men in their age group, sometimes feeling like "old clunkers" in the fast lane, unsure whether to claim a love for sushi and rap or admit a preference for broiled chicken and oldies radio, these women face new decisions daily. They wonder, "What are we, chopped liver? Just because we know how to make it..." Whether you wear a size 3 or 3X, have a Ph.D. or dropped out of high-school...whether you're widowed, divorced, or you've always been single...if you're a woman "of a certain age" challenged by today's dating scene, you must read this book. Cissy's amorous adventures, outspoken opinions, and candid words of advice might seem outrageous to some - especially coming from a woman her age. But her refreshing honesty and breezy writing style makes this book as much fun as a cross between The Golden Girls and Sex and the City. Currently living with a younger man, Cissy has found a way to live her own life to the fullest, and senior women everywhere would do well to follow her advice. After all, these may not be the BEST years of their lives, but they're definitely the best ones they have left!
