A full colour coffee table book of portraits championing women over the age of 60. In her photographic essay, portrait photographer Yve Lavine explores the experiences, trials and tribulations of sixteen women over 60. Lavine, charts the year each woman was 16-years-old. Where in the world she was living and with whom. Uncovering her aspirations and lessons she' d learnt. In her interviews Lavine asked each woman to reveal the nugget of advice they' d give to their 16-year-old self if she were in the room now. The women featured are from many walks of life. Both Indigenous and other Australian born women, and migrants from around the globe. Participants were aged between 60 to 85 years. Some were 16 before the notion of the teenager was a concept.
