Author Anna Sklar defends her book Runaway Wives while noting the term irritates many readers. She describes women who leave or separate from marriages though some take children, and recalls her own choice to end her 11 year marriage after pursuing education and a career.
About 22 million Americans are 65 or older, the second fastest growing group, with projections of 30 million by century's end. There are more older women than men, 147 to 100, and life expectancy at 65 adds about 15 to 20 years.
A discussion on aging portrays 65 as a milestone not a barrier to productivity. Notable seniors like Michelangelo Verdi Eleanor Roosevelt and Morton Puner's followers are cited, with stories of Catlin Noble Cheney and MacKay showing active, impactful lives beyond traditional retirement.
The National Council on the Aging report shows seniors view themselves as warm and wise while many outsiders see them as nearing the end of the road. Projections say people 65 or older will rise from 10 percent in 1970 to about 15 percent of the population by 2000.
