Older women disappear from our TV screens, our novels, from sight. Negotiating public life can be a challenge when you ‘disappear’ from view.
Women of a Certain Age is a collection of stories of identity and survival, and a celebration of getting older and wiser, and becoming more certain of who you are and where you want to be
