Description
by Madeleine May Governor Kunin (Author)
A reflective journey through aging, politics, and personal growth.
Many know Madeleine Kunin as the former governor of Vermont, deputy secretary of education, and ambassador to Switzerland. In Coming of Age, she explores the emotional and physical changes of aging with honesty and insight. This memoir delves into her life as a politician, feminist, wife, mother, and more, offering a positive look at growing older.

- Explore the emotional tolls of aging beyond the physical.
- Find inspiration and resilience in later life.
- Discover the intersection of personal and political experiences.
