rediscovering life after 50, and loving every bit of it – uh – mostly

As an adult woman, I have lived through the progression from encountering sexual harassment in the workplace, to coming to understand that  it happens and  everyone knows about it , to now the #MeToo movements. That journey has allowed me to feel anger for the first time about things that happened more than 35 years ago, and that are still happening now far too often.

I think about the boss that raped me after my first night at work as a bartender, and how I didn’t say anything, and went back to work the next night, because I was young, and alone in a strange town, and needed the job to support my daughter. And how I made sure to stay away from my boss, who looked at me strangely for a while, like he was wondering what I would do.
