One third of all women in America are over the age of fifty, and one woman reaches that milestone every seven and a half seconds. Climacteric women, more than fifty million strong, now comprise the single largest population segment of American society. Silent no more, we are reading and talking and conspiring among ourselves.

It is my hope that as more and more mature women rise to reign in the fullest potential of our supremacy, we will harness our purpose, passion and power and direct it toward creating a more balanced and peaceful world. This is the legacy of Her majesty.
