Hosted by Neiman Marcus Downtown


Wednesday, June 6th, 4pm - 5:30pm at Neiman Marcus Downtown RSVP

When a woman reaches the peak of her life, beginning at age 45, only one enemy has the power to threaten her confi dence, steal her beauty, make her feel invisible, and even turn the pleasures of life against her. That enemy is time. Most women feel that they die as women when their youth is gone. Yet some women grow more beautiful, experience new pleasures, and accomplish their best work late. They paint or write, find unconditional love and more vibrant sex, run kingdoms or run for office ... and have experiences they never thought possible even as sexy, young women. In her bestselling book "The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women," Harriet Rubin defined the tactics by which young women seeking success can get what they want. Now, taking inspiration from a masterpiece of female beauty, mystery and immortality—Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa— Harriet Rubin reveals a powerful stratagem for finding happiness and fulfillment in midlife and beyond. Rubin codifies ten tactics, including how to be noticed, how to create circles of influence with you at the center, and how to express talents that have been ripening over decades. Come hear how fighting time is the best way to welcome aging.
