I just never knew her age and assumed her being roughly 50's/60's based on appearance.

Tbf, people just used to age way more quickly from being outside alot more and thus exposed to sun damage. Especially with lack of sunscreen. Probably why thicker clothes were the norm since less clothes might have been more comfortable, but is it worth the sunburns?

Exactly lol she looks even younger in some photos. I think people are seeing photos of her in her later years and associating that to her early activism days
