About Penelope

Apparently, I’m supposed to be slowing down.

Nobody appears to have told me.

I’m Penelope Jane Whiteley — London-born writer, speaker, stylist, traveller and founder of Aging Disgracefully.

I’ve lived in seven countries, travelled through more than sixty, written seven non-fiction books and spent more than fifty years working with women, style, communication and reinvention.

I’ve also reinvented myself more times than seems entirely reasonable.

These days my work centres on something I care deeply about: women becoming invisible as they grow older — and what happens when we decide not to.
