Who writes Age and Iron
Three editors, each owning a section. The hosting how-to and table-setting work goes to one. The glassware and home-bar work to another. Holidays gets its own beat. Different specialties, one consistent voice.

The systems that worked at 30 need rewriting, and most of the public-facing fitness advice for women in this stage is either patronizing or wrong.
