Successful women are starting businesses. Yes, even after 50
Mary Stuart Masterson, here in a 2019 photo, is starting a studio and production company in upstate New York. Arthur C. Brooks, the departing CEO of the American Enterprise Institute, wrote a long researched essay in The Atlantic this month. It says that your career peaks at 50, and woe to those who don’t accept their decline gracefully.,” I felt how little the bleak worldview and the sense of loss reflect the reality of women I know as they near and pass 50.The women I know aren’t declining.
There is, in fact, a whole ecosystem of women who have achieved a certain level in their career who are now supporting other women of all ages, but especially the ones they know, who tend to be older. Where men give other men the benefit of the doubt, especially when class, race and school are shared, that’s not always extended to women.
MeToo brought to light the breadth and systemic nature of the discrimination that women have faced. I don’t know why so many men don’t see it, or don’t seem to care.When I began to focus on what I’d experienced in the context of what other women reported happening to them, I could begin to see more clearly how women are held back and hold themselves back. I can make an active decision now, when I see it happening, to give other women what men have long given each other: the benefit of the doubt.
