How are we doing?

One thing about being an older mother is that you are constantly reminded of the truism that age doesn’t really describe the shape of a person’s life. Nor does our place on the family tree, the generation we are assigned to at birth. When my daughter was born I was 44, old enough to be her grandmother. When she went to school, I was old enough to be her teachers’ (and her friends parents’) mother. At the same time my contemporaries had long since forgotten about coping with babies and young children – they were on to the joys of grandchildren. My most meaningful cohort was other women with children my children’s age, but not my age themselves.

Boomers are the first generation of women to openly claim our rights to personal power and parity with men since the decline of the Goddess cultures. The first feminists fought long and hard for women’s suffrage. But, once they got the vote, many seemed to lose steam and returned to stoke the home fires.

Mary Eileen Williams, founder of the popular “Feisty Side of Fifty” blog and author of HOW TO LAND THE JOB YOU LOVE! and I are launching a regular monthly program on “Feisty Side of Fifty” blogtalkradio.com.
