Ageing with attitude: Book shines a spotlight on women who refuse to fade

A book challenging the belief that females become invisible after the age of 60, features subjects telling their life story through props, clothes and, especially, words, writes         Margaret Jennings.

WHO says women become invisible at 60? Not Jenny O’Connor, a photographer who has created an amazing book composed of powerful portraits of 60 women, the year they hit their sixth decade.

Definitely, not the women themselves, who wrote personal pieces to accompany how they had chosen to dress up and be seen by the world — with such a long life journey behind them.
