If you're an energetic, playful, and spirited woman over 50, the Red Hat Society wants you! British poet and children's author Jenny Joseph penned the poem Warning, the inspiration for the Red Hat Society, in 1961. The poem starts, "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, with a red hat that doesn't go." Society founder Sue Ellen Cooper, known as "Exalted Queen Mother," gifted a friend a copy of this poem and a red hat. Red Hatters Are Never Too Old to Dress Up. The society decrees that no one can wear red and purple until her 50th birthday. These "rules" were created to encourage women not to dread turning 50, but to instead trumpet its arrival.
