This is a wonderful framed 1961 poem by Jenny Joseph and written out and framed by Elizabeth Lucas entitled "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple...." representative of the Red Hat Society - a woman's movement placing a strong emphasis on the positive aspects of life - friendship, sisterhood and play. The poem captures the spirit of growing old in a wonderfully outrageous style.This framed calligraphic version of this delightful poem measures approximately 12" X 14 (the poem measures 7" X 8-1/2") X 3/4" thick and is beautifully framed (it is inscribed on the back) with a purple matt in excellent condition with no damage. This poem holds a special place in the hearts of thousands of women worldwide and its light humor has endeared it to people of all ages. Any questions, please email. Thanks!
