Donna Lynch visited 50 countries in 50 weeks, asking 50-something women about their lives

Victoria author Donna Lynch has just written an account of her recent extensive travels in 50ish: A Journey to 50 Countries in 50 Weeks Interviewing Women in Their Fifties. The journey—and the resulting book—helped Donna with the grief of losing her mother to cancer. 50ish is the story of Donna’s journey and interviews with the women she met. She found women in 39 of the countries who were willing to answer questions about marriage, religion, education, menopause, and more. Donna wanted to know: Are 50ish women around the world happy?

We speak with Donna Marie Lynch about her travels and her book.
