About CroneHub
We’re a curated resource hub for women past midlife — and we built ourselves exactly what we couldn’t find anywhere else.
Not a magazine. Not a brand deal. Not an algorithm deciding what you should care about. CroneHub is a hand-curated index of the books, podcasts, films, organizations, influencers, websites, and more that reflect our actual lives — and help us live them fully.
The Name
Yes, we said crone.
We mean it — and we mean it as a compliment. The word has a long history as a term of power: the wise elder, the woman who has seen enough to stop being deferential about it. We’re reclaiming it. Cronehood isn’t a condition that happens to you. It’s something you grow into, and there’s no better time to celebrate that than now.
If the word makes someone uncomfortable, that’s worth examining. We’re not here to soften it.
What We Believe
Women past midlife are creating culture. Writing the books. Building the organizations. Pushing back on the gendered ageism that tells us to get smaller, quieter, and more grateful. We’re not doing any of that.
CroneHub believes:
Post-midlife women are strong, creative, vivid, and powerful.
Gendered ageism — the specific, compounded harm of being both a woman and older — is real, and it’s worth naming directly.
The antidote is connection: with one another, with our Crone Foremothers who built culture before us, and with the resources that help us keep building.
Intersectionality matters. CroneHub is for women of all ages, body types, ethnicities, religions, and abilities. The sisterhood is wide.
What You’ll Find Here
CroneHub curates across many content types — all relevant to life past midlife, none of it watered down:
Books — fiction, memoir, history, science, and more, by and about women who know who they are.
Blogs — personal voices, long-form thinkers, women writing their truth.
Films & TV — stories that pass the Bechdel Test and then some.
Influencers — women doing interesting work online, across every platform.
Magazines — print and digital publications that take us seriously.
Organizations — groups pushing for change in health, policy, workplace, and beyond.
Podcasts — conversations worth having, hosted by women worth listening to.
Websites — the best of what’s out there on the topics that matter to us.
Every resource is chosen. Nothing is here by accident or because someone paid for placement.
Who We Are
CroneHub was founded by Stella Fosse — author, advocate, and proud crone. The project grew out of a simple question: where do women past midlife go to find resources that actually reflect their lives? The answer, too often, was: nowhere good. So we built it.
This is a living project. The index grows. We welcome recommendations from women of all backgrounds — if you know something that belongs here, we want to hear about it.
