Elinor Guggenheimer Quotes
Prejudice against womenis many, many times intensified against older women. You are viewed not as an intellect but as a body.... Astonishingly, even women's liberation has paid extraordinarily little attention to the older woman and to the fact that her job is limited because she is older. They say that women shouldn't be sex objects, but you damned well better be a sex object if you want to get ahead in television.
