update to “oh hey!” published may 2021

can you see me?
Last year, I read a book called “Calling Invisible Women” by Jeanne Ray. The story resonated with me as the main character was a married mother of two in her early 50’s who wakes up one morning and realizes she is invisible. Her family does not notice any change in her but her friends notice…
