Wise Up: Power, Wisdom, and the Older Woman

Barbara Scully launches her debut book with a frank look at the last half-century of women’s place in society, told via her lived experience of womanhood in contemporary Ireland. The 60-year-old broadcaster pulls no punches as she blends uncomfortable truths with indispensable advice in this essential feminist publication.

Wise Up to the power … Wise Up to the wisdom … Wise Up to life after menopause!

Barbara Scully offers her take on life after the big ‘M’.

Told with searing honesty, this memoir-come-self-help guide is laced with social history and the occasional rant to deliver a read that is humorous and essential. It offers younger women a guide to navigating the hurdles of adulting, and older women the opportunity to consider the two great benefits of ageing - wisdom and power.

It’s time to dream big, just like you did when you were a teenager.

Whatever the reason, I realised when I turned 40 and with every decade since I have less f*cks to give. It’s liberating, I tell you. Barbara Scully.
