WomenSpeak Project
Dear Content Director, I’m writing to request inclusion of WomenSpeak.com as a reciprocal link on your Web site. Based in Springfield, Missouri, the site was established in 2001. The WomenSpeak Project seeks to help women feel better about getting older. Clinical psychologist Nancy O’Reilly, PsyD, founded the WomenSpeak Project in response to her landmark research into women’s perceptions and attitudes about aging. To date, Dr. O’Reilly’s research with more than 1,100 women has shown that nearly half of us are frightened and ashamed of our aging process. Although they may joke about it, women rarely discuss their fears in a way that can help them overcome their anxieties. WomenSpeak.com gives women a: • Platform for sharing and exploring ways to be happier as we mature • View of concerns expressed by women of all ages for their health, finances, relationships and in in(s) and out(s) of their fears of aging • Chance to help each other by speaking honestly about our fears • Source for Help Yourself information about health, finances, relationships and aging • Place to read peer-reviewed research about attitudes toward aging(American Journal of Health Behavior & American Psychological Association July 2004 annual meeting) • Opportunity to collaborate on research on aging and to be part of the book in progress, WomenSpeak: Feeling Good About Getting Older Please let me know if we will be included on your site. I will be happy to provide any other information you need to make your decision Sincerely, Maggie Castrey WomenSpeak Editor 417-883-3525 mcastrey@mchsi.com
