    Nancy Wang Yuen Retweeted Aline Brosh McKenna

    Women over 40 change the world. Rosa Parks was 42 when she refused to give up her Montgomery bus seat. Susan B. Anthony was 58 & Elizabeth Cady Stanton was 63 when they introduced an amendment giving women the right to vote. Dolores Huerta is still registering voters at age 88.https://twitter.com/alinebmckenna/status/1054213517979631616 …

    Nora Ephron was 51 when she directed her 1st movie. Nancy Meyers was 49. Their kids were grown. If you're a women who writes, acts, edits, ADs, etc and you're ready to direct, you're not too old. I was 47. Tell the people you work with your dream. Put your hand up. Men ask. Ask.

        I wish someone had told me to embrace the power that comes with age. Entering my 40s, I speak out more and take more risks. I am no longer shackled by fears of how others perceive me. I revel in my gifts and accept my shortcomings. I am free.pic.twitter.com/TjRYO0qBRz

        What's funny is that I LOVED The Golden Girls as a young immigrant girl. I definitely recognized they were older, but I related to them so much. Sophia was a first generation immigrant who embraced her roots. I loved it whenever she told stories of Sicily: "picture this..."pic.twitter.com/lv0xrOiweR

        We need more shows like The Golden Girls, starring women in their 50s, 60s and 70s living their best lives. Tired of seeing women cast only as supporting cast mothers and grandmothers. This is one reboot I'd like to see, especially with WoC as the leads.pic.twitter.com/udUIVswhQc

        Ads also exacerbate ageist stereotypes. “If you look at stock photos that are used to show the 50 plus, they tend to look confused or...not being able to do something,” said Karen Chong, AARP’s director of influencer engagement via @cindygallop https://www.wsj.com/articles/aarp-to-take-on-ageism-enlists-former-ad-executive-cindy-gallop-1538391601 …
