To the 66 women who participated

in the aos 50 (at 50) project.

To the women who came before us, to

our contemporaries, and to all those to

come: we are part and we are whole.

A book like this is an adventure.

The idea of the authors to make visible the challenges that women in their fifties have already been facing is, by itself, a difficult goal; and when to this one adds that they do this as part of this age group and also facing these turbulent times, then the whole process is converted into a reflexive challenge.

Looking and listening as investigators/writers in their fifties, while listening and witnessing other women talk about their lives, ends up being a game of mirrors, a labyrinth of meanings, echoes, and “hybridizations”.

Amid such complexity, handling this process in a book is a challenge full of risks; however, the audacity and the intellectual honesty of the authors ended up producing a work that transcends “the women”, just as it transcends “the fifties”.
