WOOF: Media Monday -- Wise WOOFers Speak Out!

If you've read WOOF: Women Only Over Fifty (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?!), you understand we're a sisterhood of women determined to be all we can be now and forever more! Apparently these women feel much the same...

"I am more myself than I have ever been."
— May Sarton, poet, novelist, 75

"It’s taken 63 years, but now I know who I am."
— Madeline Albright, former Secretary of State, 63

"I like growing old. I say it to myself with surprise."
— Barbara Macdonald, author, activist, 65

"After all, I’m 81 — I’m experiencing an increased indifference
to people’s opinions — I’m not so scared anymore."
— Olga Bloom, musical director of Bargemusic, NYC, 81

"It’s a terrible thing in women’s culture that you’re supposed
to be dead after menopause in our culture. You’re not
beautiful any more, nothing. Since I was 60, I’ve written
more and had better energy than I ever had in my life."
— Meridel Le Sueur, poet, social activist, 86

"This is the best time of my life."
— Raquel Welch, film actress, 60
