In a society that values youth and beauty, it is not a surprise to hear people who embody these values are treated to a higher regard. Age comes for us all, however, and at a certain point, we all will grow older and start to slip away from public view. This is especially true for women, who historically are valued based on their looks and ability to have and raise children rather than who they are and what they know. This is referred to as the Invisible Women Syndrome- where women in their 50s disappear from public view, in shops, on public transport, at work, and in media.
