Calling all "invisible" Grandmothers. When did people stop seeing us? There we were making decisions, organizing our families' lives, making a contribution when suddenly no one could see us any more.
I am 5'10" but I can stand at a counter while the world is served around me and nobody even sees me. I can be in a group and make a comment and wonder if I've lost my voice because nobody hears me. Half the surveys don't even have a space for my age group and date of birth.
Men as they get older get "elder statesmen" status - they can make the most stupid observations and just get a kindly, tolerant smile. Women just become "invisible".
Grandmothers! We need a revolution. We demand to be noticed!
What about me! It isn't fair!
