A Round-Heeled Woman news
"Before I turn 67 — next March — I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me.”
That was the ad Jane Juska placed in The New York Review of Books in the fall of 1999. A retired English teacher, Jane was making a reference to Anthony Trollope, her favorite author.
Though her life was bustling with pro-choice activism, teaching higher education classes at St. Mary's College of California, and teaching a writing workshop at San Quentin State Prison, Jane wanted more. By summer 2000, Jane would receive sixty-three responses and meet with a handful of men, further adding to her life's riches.
Her quest inspired her bestselling memoir, A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance, which in turn led to multiple media appearances, interviews with Oprah and Charlie Rose, and a stage play starring Sharon Gless.
Jane's hit memoir channels her bold and resilient spirit as she ventures forth into sometimes disappointing and sometimes delightful dalliances with the opposite sex.
