@MichaelFKane@rowlands_laws Hi! Author of the post in question here. This is actually a list of short stories celebrating iconic fictional women. Four are from critically acclaimed sources in the SF/F world.
I imagine no. 3 might be the kind of protagonist you’re looking for.

But a granny-aged character isn’t going to make a story an overnight success any more than an ensemble cast or a YA heroine will.
Luckily, you have a curated list.
Featuring internationally-acclaimed authors, a Hugo-winning magazine, and meticulous bookmarkedone reviews. (9/10)

This was a very sneaky way to lure me out of my indefinite Twitter hiatus!
I’m off again now. But much love to my Twitter readers—you’re welcome at the blog anytime!
Read good books. Don’t spread misinformation. Be nice in the comments.☺️
I made this list because every stage of life has beauty and every person has value—young, old, weak, strong, wise, innocent, able-bodied or not. “Granny fiction” encapsulates this, subverting tropes and rejecting stereotypes.
It’s never too late to go on an adventure. (10/10)
