IN PRAISE OF OLDER WOMEN

Many thanks for giving Germaine Greer’s “The Change” (Oct. 18) front-page status.

As instructor of “Women’s Writings--a World Perspective” for an Orange County Community College, I’ve had more difficulty finding books by older women than by black, Hispanic, Asian and Arabic women combined.

Now please give top billing to the Betty Friedan book on aging which will be published soon. Hers is a valued voice among women as well. Women over 50 refuse to become invisible, as our mothers did.
