to women in their twilight years. In fact, they’re probably the most forgotten

and Julie & Julia
is speaking on behalf

of her contemporaries.In 2006, she released the book I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman
, addressing the issues of aging with the deft humor that she
wielded in When Harry Met Sally
