My Thoughts
I’ve seen time and time again how female sales professionals have had to prove that they’re every bit the professional that a man is. Now, it’s not just that they are a woman; it’s frequently that they are a woman of a “certain age.” But gendered ageism affects women of all ages. As reports of discriminatory ageism rise, women have a new battlefront to contend with, and if they’re ever going to match men dollar for dollar, it’s a battle they have to fight together. Through " Not Done Yet!: How Women Over 50 Regain Their Confidence and Claim Workplace Power " Author Bonnie Marcus calls on women of all ages to join together now to fight against gendered ageism, to take control of your life after fifty―regardless of what anyone else may have in mind for you and to secure your financial safety net, and to make a brighter, more welcome future for older women. An amazing book to break myths about women’s abilities after turning fifty, a call to reclaim women’s aging as a social movement and harness their voices, experience, and wisdom toward social change…forward-thinking and hopeful.
