We are thrilled to share the latest work from our @AgeWithoutLimit campaign. The team gathered a panel of brilliant women from across the media to discuss the realities of ageism. Each are either trailblazers who have smashed stereotypes in their careers both as women and as they’ve aged, or they work to challenge attitudes toward ageing, what it is to age well and change expectations around older women.
