‘The Golden Girls’, a reflection of the dreamed golden age
When they premiered The golden girls, the writer spent part of the summer in my maiden aunt’s tiny apartment on a Mediterranean beach. It was an act of true solidarity on her part since she also felt sorry for the rest of the women in the extended family who were forced to stay in Madrid in the middle of August. We were joined by another divorced aunt, another second aunt, equally single, and my sister. Together and together, aged between 13 and 60, we shared a decade of summers in those 65 square meters, a single bathroom and a ceiling fan. Many times I thought that the writers of the series were spying on my aunts.

Hundreds of single, divorced and widowed women, who were already over 50 or 60 years old from half the world, saw themselves reflected in The golden girls.
