Tough Broads
Wednesday October 23, 2024 7:00pm - 8:30pm PDT

What would you call Amy Appelhans Gubser, who, at age 55, became the first-ever person to swim from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Farallon Islands (that’s 29.6 miles) through shark-infested waters? We’d call her one tough broad. Author Caroline Paul would agree. In her new book Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking—How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age, Paul combines vivid anecdotes with the latest science to relate how and why older women can and should lead healthier, more daring lives. Join these two adventurers for a lively conversation—prepare to be inspired! FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
