Wising Up is a wise book. Black and Elkins gather together a wonderful treasure of wisdom on women's experiences of vulnerability, illness, aging, and dying. They provide useable liturgies to guide support communities in sustaining one another in these processes of transition in older life. --Rosemary Radford Ruether, Carpenter Professor of Feminist Theology at Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California Wising Up is both refreshing and timely. The rituals invite women and their communities to age with wisdom and grace, challenge them to pay attention to the joys and sorrows of growing older, and show how to craft ceremonies that mark transitions in the journey of aging and to honor Wisdom's ways. --Diann L. Neu, co-founder and co-director of WATER: The Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual in Silver Springs, Maryland
