TOUGH BROAD is author Caroline Paul’s (she/her) quest to understand not just how to live a dynamic life in a changing body, but why we must. She dives deep into the current research on getting older, highlighting the results with outdoor adventures that range from flying a gyrocopter, to scuba diving, to learning to swim, to walking in a park. TOUGH BROAD is a high-spirited call for women to embrace the outdoors, not back away from it, in our fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond, casting our futures in a new and dazzling light.
