Note 1: Will women who are turning 50 feel anxious because of the number 50? Lisa said that she found that there were many signs of aging on her face, but at this stage, what she was thinking about was not how to preserve her youth, but how to position herself in life. (Back)
Note 2: Thinking back to when you were young, what was your impression of a 50-year-old woman? How is it different from the person you are now in your 50s?
