The book that began the Red Hat revolution. From the title poem:

When I am an old woman
I shall wear purple,
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and
summer gloves.

(Get the book to read the rest - it's worth it... it's FREE! :)

Paints a picture of women as they age. Valuable for both young and old readers. It shows that we are not alone in a wide variety of circumstances and have found unique ways of challenging the years' passing.
