The Second Half: Forty Women Reveal Life After Fifty

Week of April 23, 2022

 

 

Ellen Warner began her career as a photojournalist in 1969 and since then has photographed all over the world. Her photographs have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines and exhibited extensively. Over the years she has developed a specialty in author portraits and has worked for most publishing houses in New York and London. She has also written travel articles which have been published in The New York Times, Travel and Leisure, and the Traveler Magazine.

For the past fifteen years Ellen has photographed and interviewed women worldwide for her recently published book The Second Half: Forty Women Reveal Life After Fifty. Ellen explores how women of many different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds view the second half of their lives, and what they learned in the first half that has helped them in the second.

Ellen will introduce us to the women – from a magic woman in Bali to Olivia de Havilland in Paris – as she describes the evolution of the book with a slide show.
