The grandmothers of today’s baby boomer women had a different focus on their fiftieth birthday, one that, with some notable exceptions, typically revolved around continued support of their husbands and families and maintenance of their home environments.
As today's baby boomer women enter midlife, their lives are much different. Many prominent role models exist in the areas of business, entertainent, politics, medicine and education. Menopause is mainstream - finally - and there is a wealth of information, guidance and research readily available for all women.
An increased awareness regarding the importance of exercise, diet, and the availability of quality health care means women fifty and beyond are living full and vigorous lives, looking and feeling more youthful and healthy as they enter midlife. The 'change of life' no longer represents a negative milestone, the onset of perimenopause and menopause no longer shrouded in secrecy, whispered about and generally looked upon as a necessary evil. This can be an extraordinarily exciting period in a woman's life. Even sex after menopause is freely discussed and can be one of the most surprisingly pleasant developments in midlife.
Today’s fifty-something women are setting trends, making waves and showing the world that youth is a relative term!
It’s true that fifty is the new forty…from business to education to leisure, middle-age women are finding that the best is yet to come!
