Jennifer L. Butz launched WonderCrone after colliding head-on with ageism at sixty, and Rebel Aging is her witty, clear-eyed reckoning with the myths women are handed about life after fifty. Part manifesto, part mirror, part marching orders, it reframes aging not as a descent but as a return — to voice, to vision, to self. Through personal stories, cultural critique, and a few well-placed shenanigans, Butz exposes how ageism shows up in our bodies, work, and relationships, and makes the case that wonder, wisdom, and purpose beat the lie of “anti-aging” every time. A rallying cry for reclaiming your edges, your joy, and your seat at any table.
