Am I old yet? Maybe I should wear more purple

When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple ~ edited by Sandra Haldeman Martz, 1987, women's studies, 181 pages, 9/10

This book is a collection of writings and photographs that challenge stereotypes of older women in America.  I wrote about it in 2016 (HERE) when I rated it 9/10, saying, "Back to school ~ my life story."

It worked its way to the top of a pile of books during my move, and I've picked it up to read again.  But why isn't the old woman on the cover wearing purple?
