Jane Juska, who wrote about late-in-life sex, dies at 84
CHICO, Calif. — Jane Juska, whose chronicle of searching for sex as a woman in her 60s became a bestselling memoir and later a stage show, has died in California. She was 84.
Juska died Oct. 24 at a Chico care facility after a long illness, her son, Andy Juska, told the San Francisco Chronicle for a story Saturday.
She was a retired and divorced schoolteacher living in Berkeley, California, when she wrote her memoir, “A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance,” published in 2003.
Inspiration for the book came after Juska took out a personal ad in the New York Review of Books that said: “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.”
