SO6 Episode 10: Heidi Woordhuis - Crone of Anarchy

Two Old Bitches: Stories from Women who Reimagine, Reinvent and Rebel

“The world tells women-of-a-certain-age to be invisible, be innocuous with quiet voices. We’ve got news for you, world…WE’RE DONE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT!” These are the words that appear when you pull up the Crones of Anarchy website (https://cronesofanarchy.com) and the spirit that infuses the 18,000+ members on the Facebook group of the same name. We – Two Old Bitches – were fortunate enough to connect directly with one of the founders, Heidi Woordhuis, and hear first-hand about the journey to create a space where older women can speak their minds and be as abrasive and vulnerable as they want. We loved every second of our conversation with Heidi and especially, her explanation that she and her partner, Ruby, chose the title Crones of Anarchy because “an older woman raising her voice is sheer anarchy!” Bask in the defiant joy of the Crones, check out their website and Facebook group, and don’t hold back!
