Hillary breakfast read in 5 mins.
“ … Why Older Women
Are So Enthusiastic About Hillary

women—especially black women.
… Older women occupy a
very particular space in our culture—a space frequently defined by

experiences of older women, and the wisdom those lives have imparted,

tossing away older women, like so much useless rubbish.
Hillary has a voice. And
people listen to it. She has experience, which people respect. She
has knowledge, and it is widely valued.
This is not the typical
experience of older women, who are devalued at the intersection of
misogyny and ageism—and whatever other parts of their identity
(race, disability, body size, sexuality, gender) are used to devalue
us, too.
Witnessing Hillary, an
older woman, fight her way to get into the most exclusive boys’
club on the planet, and seeing her succeed,inching ever closer,
is exciting. And more than that: It’s validating. … “
