was strange to think that power in this world belonged to old men and young women.
This is definitely something that has occurred to me as I get older. Women traditionally have held their highest value when they are young enough to bear children, while men to continue to accumulate power and money over the years. The problem is that when women are young and inexperienced (and historically, marriageable in their teens or even late childhood) they usually have little idea of their true value, or of what options they might have.

I am so glad we can change this; older women have valuable skills, and can produce many valuable services, products and works of art in modern countries like the USA
