520    In 1963, Betty Friedan's transcendent work, The Feminine 
       Mystique, changed forever the way women thought about 
       themselves and the way society thought about women. In 
       1993, with The Fountain of Age, Friedan changes forever 
       the way all of us, men and women, think about ourselves as
       we grow older and the way society thinks about aging. 
       Struggling to hold on to the illusion of youth, we have 
       denied the reality and evaded the new triumphs of growing 
       older. We have seen age only as decline. In this powerful 
       and very personal book, which may prove even more 
       liberating than The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan 
       charts her own voyage of discovery, and that of others, 
       into a different kind of aging. She finds ordinary men and
       women, moving into their fifties, sixties, seventies, 
       discovering extraordinary new possibilities of intimacy 
       and purpose. In their surprising experiences, Friedan 
       first glimpsed, then embraced, the idea that one can grow 
       and evolve throughout life in a style that dramatically 
       mitigates the expectation of decline and opens the way to 
       a further dimension of "personhood." The Fountain of Age 
       suggests new possibilities for every one of us, all 
       founded on a solid body of startling but little-known 
       scientific evidence. It demolishes those myths that have 
       constrained us for too long and offers compelling 
       alternatives for living one's age as a unique, exuberant 
       time of life, on its own authentic terms. Age as 
       adventure! In these pages, film producers and beauticians,
       salespersons and college professors, union veterans and 
       business tycoons, former (and forever) housewives, male 
       and female empty-nesters and retirees, have crossed the 
       chasm of age ... and kept going. They have found 
       fulfillment beyond career, bonding that transcends 
       youthful dreams of happily-ever-after, and a richer, 
       sweeter intimacy not tied to mechanical measures of sexual
       activity, but to deep and honest sharing. While 
       gerontologists focus on care, illness, and the concept of 
       age as deterioration, Friedan sets out to separate the 
       complex actualities of biological aging from its 
       pathologies. She distinguishes what is programmed and 
       irreversible from what remains viable and open to choice 
       and transformation. She demonstrates how important to 
       human vitality after sixty is our own control over our 
       lives. She sheds welcome new light on the nursing home 
       specter, the current brouhaha over menopause, and the new 
       intergenerational warfare. She suggests revolutionary 
       ideas about health care, housing, and work and new uses 
       for the wisdom of age in the evolution of our whole 
       society. The Feminine Mystique is universally regarded as 
       the catalyst for the modern women's movement. In The 
       Fountain of Age, Betty Friedan breaks through the mystique
       of age-as-problem, and proposes a new Movement of women 
       with men, old with young, that will transform our society.
