Award-winning Toronto Star journalist Moira Walsh joins Bruce Sellery to discuss her new book The Astonishing Lives of Older Women: How to Create Pleasure Over Peril in the Age of Peak Longevity. Moira shares powerful real-life stories of women in their 70s, 80s, and beyond who are struggling financially, from a woman who lived in her car for nine months to another who went from a yacht club lifestyle to a trailer park. They explore how divorce, the wage gap, and the motherhood penalty leave women vulnerable in later life, and discuss innovative solutions like communal living that are helping women regain stability, community, and hope.
