No.
(from a woman of a fairly certain age (50)).
Seriously though, I notice that there are plenty of women contributing
to this newsgroup, but are there many middle-aged women in the
US technical writing community? It's one of the pleasures of a group
like this that one doesn't usually know people's ages, nor do they
matter - but I'm curious.
