Today’s Featured Collective Writers
Based on the number of likes I received on last week’s article and the Substack Note I posted about it, caregiving seemed to resonate with many of you.
My mother-in-law was in town this past weekend and shared her story of caring for her bedridden husband full-time for 6 months last year before he passed away. When the hospital suggested she bring him home and care for him there, we thought that was absolutely insane, as did she. She was 81 at the time.
There are many incredible stories of women caregivers and caregiving pioneers, some of which are featured in
’s article below. I love reading about women who have left lasting legacies in women’s health.Anna is another amazing Collective member doing important work on her Substack,
, and in life. She is a mom of three kids 10 and under, a daughter to parents with dementia, and a sister and guardian to a brother with Down Syndrome. She’s spent her career in philanthropy, global health, and gender equity, and I’m happy to feature her and her article today.

These are all buzz words. Is #perimenopause the latest one?
Vibe: Grrrl, for real
