'As young and midlife women, we in the editorial collective had to spend a lot of time raising our awareness of aging and ageism....we benefited from the insight of two consultants, older women sensitive to the issues of aging and ageism. With their help we tried to select works that see women as individuals--as who they are now--and not as superficial images or stereotypes. We've made no attempt to gloss over the images of women by presenting only vibrant, healthy, active old women. We wanted to present strong, powerful images of women, yet we did not want to fall into the trap of treating as invisible those old women who are, by reason of health or choice or depression or whatever, not active or healthy or vibrant.' --Editorial statements, Cheryl McLean
