It's time to reclaim the dismissive and unkind words used to describe womanhood over a certain age.
Harridan is a terrible word meaning bossy. Maybe a less aggressive term might be authoritative, Or in charge. Or just advisory.
My friend Tessa strikes me as the perfect Harridan. I met her when I was pregnant and she had just had her second child. I had friends with much older children but she was the only person I knew who was just a step or two ahead of me. She became my encyclopedia. Well read and very principled. If I needed to know what my view was on vaccinations, or controlled crying or some blasted parenting style or other, Tessa would give me her considered opinion and also the counter one so I could make my choice without being over-influenced by her. I have a few 'parents' (they know who they are), who kindly guide me through life and Tessa is most certainly one. A sweet councillor to me, a learned advisor. A worthy harridan.
