More than 1.7 million copies have been sold, thanks to its universal message of aging as a natural gift of life. Winner of the American Booksellers Book of the Year Honors Award (1991), and two Benjamin Franklin Awards: for design and content, literature (1988), and for excellence and innovation in marketing, literature (1992), When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has been applauded for its honest and inspiring approach to the much neglected topic of aging. When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple has created a network of support and encouragement: the sixty-plus men and women whose work is included, the readers who have taken the time to share how the book has touched their lives, and the booksellers who have so graciously recommended it to buyers. Stories and poems such as Warning, Like Mother, Like Daughter, Love at Fifty, Near Places, Far Places, and Dear Paul Newman tell of the endearing moments of joy -- and passion -- to be found in the rich and varied world of midlife and beyond. This award-winning anthology has earned a word-of-mouth popularity because, as the Los Angeles Times said, the time is ripe for such a message. ; Contents: Warning / Jenny Joseph -- Sitty Victory / Vicky Salloum -- Grandma sits down / Rick Kempa -- Aunt Marie at 99 / Tom Benediktsson -- Here, take my words / Karen Brodine -- The trouble was meals / Elizabeth Bennett -- Like mother, like daughter / Susan S.

Leicht gefertigte Medaille mit dem Bildnis des Heiligen Georg zu Pferde und dem Wahlspruch ''Adverso Flumine''(lateinisch für ''Gegen den Strom'') in den Kategorien 'Sport', 'Kultur' und 'Politik' an Persönlichkeiten verliehen wird, die sich um Deutschland, die neuen Bundesländer und um Sachsen verdient gemacht haben [sollen]. Die Verleihung des Ordens an den damaligen russischen Ministerpräsidenten Wladimir Putin im Jahr 2009 und die Laudatio des damaligen Ministerpräsidenten Tillich ernteten viel Kritik; daraufhin wurde der Preis ab 2010 in 'St. Georgs Orden' umbenannt. Aus den jeweiligen Jahren sind die Preisverleihungen mit den dazwischen stattfindenden Show-Acts und die Preisträger ausführlich abgebildet (2007: Maximilian Schell, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Franz Beckenbauer; 2008: Kurt Masur, Lothar de Maizière, Henry Maske; 2009: Joachim Fuchsberger, Wladimir Putin, Matthias Steiner; 2010: Kurt Biedenkopf, [José Carreras und Michael Jackson postum, vertreten durch seine Schwester La Toya ohne Abbildung]; 2011: Til Schweiger, Roman Herzog, Bob Geldof; 2012: Ornella Muti, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak [ägyptischer Ökonom], Helene Fischer, Roger Moore). Ausführlich dokumentiert werden auch der prachtvolle Debütantenball und der 'Semper Openairball' unter freiem Himmel vor der Semperoper, die beide wichtige Bestandteile der Veranstaltung sind.
