Every now and then, the men's magazine Esquire decides to honor women of a certain age. Recently, they released a piece titled "In Praise of 42 Year Old Women." The piece explained that 42 year old women today are quite different from how we perceived them in the past, and that 42 is still sexy.
All that sounds well and good, but the way the writer made his case did not go over too well with many women, including Annabelle Gurwitch. She's an actress and the author of the New York Times Bestseller, "I See You Made an Effort: Compliments, Indignities and Survival Stories from the Edge of 50," and she joins Take Two host, Alex Cohen, to discuss her reaction to the piece.
