On Women and Growing Old

Isn’t it about time we, as women, not products, pleasers, prostitutes or pathetic victims, reach up and tear down the posters, tear down the messages that are of a bygone era? And instead help rebuild and reaffirm just what life’s aging process and manifestations thereof truly represent--a natural, joyful process that could fill one’s soul with greater wisdom, undaunted respect for oneself and, above all, acceptance of what is.
