Oppressions are uncovered by the group most affected, those who daily feel the oppression, whose lives are chipped away by each encounter. Until one day one woman, and then another, decides, ‘‘No more. I will not ignore this hatred, I will not try to run away from it, I will not collude with it. I will search it out willfully, deliberately—whether it is disguised as deference, honor, respect, or sympathy, or whether it presents itself as naked hatred of my aging body or as a primitive fear of my old and ancient rage.”

A movement of old lesbians (in Look me in the eye. Old women, aging and ageism), Barbara Macdonald (1987)
