Welcome to The Ethel Community!
We’re older women seeking to live our best lives. Instead of slipping into isolation, we’re coming together to share stories — as well as life’s ups and downs. Strength is found in solidarity and there’s comfort in knowing you’re not alone on life’s journey.

Discover new adventures both here and abroad with this go-to travel hub created by older women and for older women who love to explore. Read vacation guides written by fellow Ethels, as well as carefully curated travel content from The Ethel and AARP to help you plan your next fabulous getaway.
Weekly Newsletter
Launched in 2020, our free, award-winning weekly digital newsletter helps older women live life to the fullest by offering the best stories related to sex, health, money, beauty, travel and relationships in every single issue. Created by writers in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, our voice is positive, inclusive, relatable, conversational and always honest.
Let’s pull back the curtain to find out who brings The Ethel to life.
