Third Age

By Cathy Sunshine

Reflections on the political and the personal for women in life’s third age.

Superb writing based not only on her own insights but also on Zoom interviews with a diversity of other women in the "Third Age" of life. Admittedly I am biased since I am Cathy's husband. But ask anyone who has been edited by her or has read her work. They will confirm this assessment. One of my top 2 recommendations among dozens of blogs that I read..
