Featuring advice, wisdom, and observations from an
array of prominent and beloved women, 30 Things is an
essential guide (and perfect gift) for women on the
brink of thirty--and for those who are already
there!Fifteen years ago, Glamour published a list of
distinctive yet universally true must-haves and
must-knows for women on the cusp of and beyond the age
of thirty titled, ''30 Things Every Woman Should Have
and Should Know by the Time She's 30.'' It became a
phenomenon. Originally penned by Glamour columnist
Pamela Redmond Satran, The List found a second life when
women began to forward it to one another online,
millions of times. It became a viral sensation,
misattributed to everyone from Maya Angelou to Hillary
Clinton--but there's only one original list, and it
stands the test of time. Quirky and profound, The List
defines the absolute must-haves (#11: ''A set of
screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra'')
and must-knows (#1: ''How to fall in love without losing
yourself'') for grown-up female happiness.Now, Glamour
magazine has gathered together its editors and an
incredible group of notable women to expand on each of
the items on The List in wise, thoughtful, and intimate
essays. Kathy Griffin meditates on knowing when to try
harder and when to walk away. Lisa Ling explores the
idea that your childhood may not have been perfect, but
it's over, and Lauren Conrad shares what she has learned
about what she would and wouldn't do for money or love.
Other personal insights come from Maya Angelou, Rachel
Zoe, Taylor Swift, Katie Couric, Portia de Rossi, Kelly
Corrigan, ZZ Packer, Bobbi Brown, Padma Lakshmi, Angie
Harmon, and many more. Along with essays based on The
List, writers share their feelings about what the
milestone of turning thirty meant to them. 30 Things is
the one book women of all ages will turn to for timely
and timeless wisdom. |
