Susan Swartz is an author, journalist and feminist who is proving that life after 50 is juicy.

Her latest book is called “The Juicy Tomatoes Guide to Ripe Living After 50.”

She talked to Growing Bolder about what it means to ripen with age and why she thinks fighting ageism is just as critical as fighting sexism was over the past several decades.
