The Invisible Woman

Kathy Williams from Office for Aging Well SA on Beauty Standards

Episode Summary

Is there a difference between men and women when they age? Join Kathy Williams as she explores the beauty myth, as anti-ageing discourse is celebrated for women, whilst men are revered as they age gracefully, morphing into George Clooney look-a-likes. Invisibility is not just waiting the longest to be served at a bar. Invisibility is when opportunities dry up as you reach a certain age, and it's about your voice being drowned out amongst a sea of others. But we know that we are more than just our age. We are what we do, what we like, and what we are interested in. In this episode, Kathy touches on the work of The Office for Aging Well and its plan to fight ageism in South Australia.
