Has she ever thought that maybe she just read the right kind of books?
I mean, shit it took me about 2 seconds to find olenty of books with middle aged women on the cover. Just look up anything written by or about a famous female celebrity.
Biography of Julia Child? There's her face. Oprah? Face. Martha Stewart? Face. Hillary Clinton? Face.
Not to mention my main gripe with all of these articles. Yo, authors, if you don't the cover your publisher uses, find another publisher or self goddamn publish. Seriously, it's 2018. If fucking Fifty Shades of Grey can make bank being self published so can your own novel about grandma getting buttfucked by the lusty poolboy.
Conventionally unattractive people are not used to sell products. Book covers are advertisements. It's not news that older women are not considered as attractive as younger women or older men. This is all basic and makes sense. You can gripe that is would be better if older women were considered more attractive but good luck with that.
It's it even usual for a book cover to have a close up shot of a character at all? I can't think of a single book I'd want to read that does, aside from biographies.

It's like dredging the Mariana Trench for something to get upset about.

Now that I think about it, most book covers dont even show faces on them. I wonder why.
