History of Spunky Old Broads Month
Spunky Old Broads Month was created by Dr. Gayle Carson in 2002. She envisioned a celebration for women over 50 who live boldly and reject stereotypes about aging.
Dr. Carson wanted to highlight the vitality and wisdom that older women bring to society. This month-long event encourages everyone to recognize and honor these spirited women who continue to embrace life with enthusiasm and confidence​.
The founder, a life coach and speaker, combined the words “spunky,” “old,” and “broad” to reclaim and celebrate their positive qualities.
She wanted to challenge the negative connotations often associated with aging and inspire women to stay active, adventurous, and true to themselves, regardless of their age. Spunky Old Broads Month has since become a time to appreciate the achievements and resilience of older women​.
Throughout February, activities and events celebrate the spirit of these women. From sharing stories and experiences to participating in new and exciting activities, the month aims to boost morale and foster a sense of community among older women.
It also encourages younger generations to value and learn from the experiences of their elders. This month reminds us that aging can be a time of joy, growth, and continued adventure​.
