THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From generational icon Brooke Shields comes an intimate and
empowering exploration of ageing that flips the script on the idea of what it means for a woman
to grow older Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child
actor and model her every feature was scrutinised her every decision judged. Today Brooke
faces a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a 'woman of a certain age'. And yet for
Brooke the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine she feels more comfortable in
her skin more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins.
Now in Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old she's changing the narrative about women and
ageing. This is an era insists Brooke when women are reclaiming agency and power not
receding into the shadows. These are the years when we get to decide how we want to live - when
we get to write our own stories. With remarkable candour Brooke bares all painting a
vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life while dismantling the
myths that have for too long dimmed that perception. Sharing her own life experiences with
humour and humility and weaving together research and reporting Brooke takes aim at the
systemic factors that contribute to age-related bias. By turns inspiring moving and
galvanising Brooke's honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere and spark
a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.
