Older Women’s Commmunity

This is an interesting question I received form a woman in the Netherlands. While this is one woman’s experience, we know that she is not alone.

=======

It is not very clear to me, what the members of OlderWiserWomen community can do for each other. In my country (the Netherlands) I cannot find such communities; generally spoken, women above the age of 50 are seen as old, sick and ready to die. If they are unemployed, there is no way of finding a job. Fortunately I have my one business as a photografer and writer, but even then, there are so many prejudices.

Does this sound like your life at all?

If you were to have a “real” vs “virtual” OlderWiserWomen community in your location, what would that look like?

What advice or recommendations would you have for this woman or anyone else who is in her situation?

What could you do in your community to change the perception of older women?
