The power of women when we come together Women as connectors and how good we can be at support and building communities How middle-aged men's power is waning in the US and elsewhere 60% of divorces after 40 are initiated by women How if men can embrace the changes in midlife women, it's better for all of us Becoming aware of the many more older woman role models and taking inspiration from them.
