The Invisibility Syndrome: Being Seen and Heard, Part I
Manage episode 441556630 series 3589555
This episode examines how women over 50 are seen and represented in media and society. Social scientists suggest that as young as age 40, women begin to experience something called the “invisibility syndrome” -- a psychological experience where a person feels their ability, personality, and worth are disregarded due to bias. One underlying theory is that women’s worth has long been defined in service to the male ego and as women age, they no longer serve that ego and become invisible. We discuss this struggle with professor and literary criticism scholar, Dr. Joyce A. Joyce.
