Grandmother Power: A Global Phenomenon

Paola Gianturco will be sponsored by the Clayman Institute (co-sponsored by the Center on Longevity and the Bechtel International Center) to talk about her new book.

Paola Gianturco is an author/photographer who has documented women’s lives in 55 countries, had five books published—and is a grandmother. Her involvement with women’s issues is long standing. Her newest book, Grandmother Power, A Global Phenomenon (powerHouse Books, 2012), documents a new, unheralded international women’s movement. Grandmother Power features 120 activist grandmothers in 17 grandmother groups in 15 countries on five continents who are fighting courageously and effectively—against poverty, disease, illiteracy, and human rights abuse—to create a better world for grandchildren everywhere.
