First substack article I've read after joining. Thank you for such a great read. I had my first child at 18... and then another one at 33.. I've been mum-exhuasted for more than half my like ha. Appreciate your perspective and looking forward to ageing gracefully and having more energy!

Everything you say is so right Eleanor. I am 55 and honestly feel like these are the best years ever. I went back to university at 50, doing a PhD, teaching English Lit in two schools as part of the National Tutoring Scheme, about to start teaching adults and I feel so bloody lucky to be able to have a whole new career. Love being a Queenager, don’t have any of the hang ups I did in my twenties, love all my girlfriends and frankly more power to the tribe. Thank you so much!!

I think the point around woman’s worth is being defined by the 2 fs. And the story of the Assyrian goddess Inanna. X
