In 1991, I wrote an article, “Sisterhood in the Suburbs” that was published in New Woman, a magazine that no longer exists.  I originally called it “Thank You Jane Fonda” because it was about my Jane Fonda exercise group.

Three working moms met twice weekly in one of our basements, leotard-clad, and worked out to Jane’s taped instructions.  Our husbands claimed we exercised our mouths more that our bodies.  Actually, we did both.

We all know about Fonda’s history of being an activist for important causes and that she has actually spent a few nights in jail over the years.  Of late, her cause has been climate change, a subject about which she is passionate.

It’s true that Jane Fonda has had some “work” done, but she looks beautiful and has the energy of someone decades younger plus the courage to take her message to anyone who will listen. She is amazing, and most important to me…

She’s 87 years old!
