In fact, who we categorize as “older” and how we view them has shifted over time.
New York Times op-ed columnist Gail Collins explores why – and some of the women who helped change and define our understanding of this time in life – in a new book. It’s called “No Stopping Us Now: The Adventures of Older Women in American History.”
