Watched Sunset Boulevard on the big screen yesterday for the 75th anniversary (Fathom Events). Near the end you learn that Norma is 50 years old. I’d love to do a class on aging women in the cinema. This movie is a good example of what we think of “old” women.

LOVE this book. Short essays on various forgotten pieces of US history. My favorite is the woman who became famous for sculpting butter. This is a great book for anyone who loves history or for those who love history but want it in small bites. #amreading
