MOIRA WELSH
Moira Welsh is a Toronto Star political journalist at Queen’s Park, who has spent years
writing about the lives of older adults as an investigative reporter and as the Star’s lead
on its The Third Act project, which challenges governments, policymakers and
institutions to improve the way we live in our later years.
Moira’s new book, The Astonishing Lives of Older Women, examines the blessing and
curse of longevity. We are entering a period of empowerment for older women due to
extra decades of life. And yet, since women are statistically expected to outlive men,
they are more deeply impacted by a measurement we do not often discuss — financial
wellbeing. Astonishing Lives takes us deep into the world of older women who started in
the robust middle class and unexpectedly, ended up sleeping on couches or in cars.
