An Enormous Resource
The Older Women’s Workshop, led by Diane Balser and Ellie Putnam, [see previous article], was an enormous resource for me in challenging sexism and ageism.
Since the workshop I have re-evaluated about aging, internalized aging, and being more powerful. I do not have to go quietly into my eighties. I am discharging on living a long and healthy life. It was powerful to lead a support group of older white women with working-class backgrounds.
I am deeply grateful for this work that we do—I think it is our most effective tool for changing society and preserving our physical world.
