Ageism, Feminism and Equality
It doesn’t matter how much society as a whole appears to accept 55+ women, they don’t. Not even in the US where baby boomer women are, in many ways, more out there than elsewhere. Or are there just more of them?!
A menopause Changeling
This is taken from a chapter in “Hot Stuff” and has been reworked a tad. Personally, I find calling myself a changeling is much nicer than being a menopausal woman …
At 50, Our Mothers Were Old
None of us realises, until we reach a certain age (no, not that certain age), how old our mothers are which has nothing to do with their actual age. Just as we fail to realise, how they are ageing; we’re often caught by surprise when we realise that our mum has suddenly become a little less positive in all she does.
