From our Society – Older Visible Women<\/span><\/h1>\n

A few days ago I wrote in the text Old Women. Visibility. Part I<\/a> that I would compile and publish a gallery of “older and old women from real life. You can now view it here, either as a general overview, or click through the portraits individually and read the German explanations under the pictures: Name, age in the photo, profession and photographer:in \/ Common Licence. This information should also appear when you move your mouse over the pictures (the photos also function as an occupation game, which is why I have added the occupation to the female politicians).<\/span><\/p>\n

As I said, there are many female politicians, on the one hand quite banal, because they are so easy to find as a larger group of older women in Wikipedia, with public domain photos. But there are also other women, I have, for example, looked through the lists of the Order of Merit Ribbon Awards – which are mostly made up of men, but a few women have also been awarded. Most of them have an entry in Wikipedia, but many without a picture. And women scientists, writers and a few actresses and a few under 40 are there too.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I haven’t done is to make a percentage distribution of all possible population groups. But I think the pictures are already much more diverse in terms of older women than those who populate German fictional TV<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder: “Since they are mostly official photos or photos of professional appearances, the women were of course also made up and the pictures were certainly also edited, which is perfectly okay<\/span><\/em>.” Nevertheless, they look different from PR photos of older actresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

We Should be seeing Women like These on Fictional TV Programmes<\/span><\/h2>\n
