Oh to be a woman in the 1930’s - not! What an interesting article, but are we really any better off today with the pressure to not go grey or to go grey but look like a goddess? To have fake nails? Fake eyelashes? Fake tans? To be a free spirit, to be creative, to be toned, to have 2.5 children, a dog, a career, a mortgage, a designer home and garden. Men might have put expectations on us in the past, is it still them or do we do this to ourselves. There is way too much pressure these days. Ladies we need to just love ourselves and breathe❤️

Thanks Jane I love reading your emails always very insightful. I think there is still the pressure on women on so many fronts. Work, don't work, cook like a chef, exercise, eat well, dye your hair, don't dye your hair and the forever anti ageing creams. I find those ad's extremely amusing as ageing is inevitable for all of us.
