How Old Is Your Daughter?
If you watched the scene, especially if you’re female, you remember it.
Two women of around the same age sit a doctor’s office. One is crying, the other composed. The composed woman asks the other if she is all right.
But Joan is always composed. And she too has reason to cry: she is in that office to terminate her own pregnancy, not support a teenage daughter through the termination of hers.
What the weeping woman tells Joanie about her own life is touching. I had her when I was fifteen, she says. She’s seventeen, but she seems so much younger.
When the woman surfaces a bit from her sorrow, she looks at Joan. It finally occurs to her to ask this nice woman about her life.
How old is your daughter?
Joanie pauses just a moment before she answers. It takes longer than it should for her to form the word.
Imagine. Imagine fifteen years passing between the termination of your first pregnancy, and the day you find yourself sitting in another office again, preparing to go through another. Imagine being alone each of those times.
Would the married father of that never-will-be-a-child join you there? Has he ever?
Imagine picturing that first decision you made, on your man’s behalf – as a teenage person, bad choices and all — for the first time.
Having watched this episode more than once, I am not really wondering whether Joanie goes through with the decision Roger seemed so intent on helping her make. I do look forward to seeing how the show develops this plot line, but that is the least of my interest here.
What this scene makes me think of is Joanie, alone, watching television after her Vietnam-bound husband leaves for Basic Training. Joanie, alone, fighting the tiny battles that beautiful women who have a little bit of power always have to fight against the angry men who don’t like powerful women.
Or Joanie, alone, standing in the doorway of Harry’s office on the day she lost that little job she loved; the light ebbing from her eyes.
I don’t want her to lose one more thing. I do not much care whether what she stands to lose now is her job, her comfort, her marriage, any small measure of her power, or a protective illusion of who she is and what she holds, in her life or in her body. I just can’t stand to see this happen.
Not one more loss for our strong, silent Joanie: the woman with the pass-through office, aching shoulders, careful phrasing, and new responsibility for a budget that is in very bad shape. Her apartment stands small and silent, at the end of every long day.
And her invisible fifteen-year-old-daughter shadows her still.

You articulated everything I’ve been feeling. Watching her ‘suck it up’ over and over again makes me conscious of the fact that she’s becoming a brittle person – Joan knows it as well.
I don’t really see why we all think that this means Joan had an abortion 15 years ago. Perhaps it’s just a white lie she told to comfort herself and others in front of the mother of the teenage girl. Or maybe Joan had abortion when she was 15 years old herself. We just don’t know.
I think she absolutely said “15” to bond with the woman who had her daughter at 15, thus making the woman feel like she did the right thing by having her daughter and that 17 wasn’t the worst thing in the world.
I’ve been looking back at Season one. Remember Joan’s roommate, who confesses that she fell in love with Joan back when they were in college? Joan put her in the icebox; she even insisted on going out and picking up a couple of men and bringing them back to the apartment. Then she takes her man into the bedroom and leaves her roommate with the other stranger.
Some people are better off not having children. You may think Betty’s one of them, but I think she’s actually trying to the best of her limited ability. Joan, otoh, may be doing everyone a favor.
Let’s see….. 1932 according to the DL: 32+30+3 = 1965: so she’s 33. Less 15 years made her 18 (!!) when she had her first abortion.
Huh. Around Peg’s age. Wow.
I have to say Anne B, I really felt like crying reading your article. Good job.
What a woman. What a pity. I wonder what she makes of the potential children she’s given up. (Wait – this is a fictional character!)
I agree. I don’t think we’ve seen Joan express an overwelming desire to have children. It just seems to me to be another thing to check off on her list on her way to having this ‘perfect life’ she’s convinced herself she wants. I don’t think just being a housewife and mother will be anymore fufilling for Joan than it was for Betty. And I certainly don’t think she wants to be single mother, whether it’s because Greg is gone for years or dies.
The scene with the doctor that had harsh words for Roger, made me wonder about something.
You remember that Joan visited Dr. Emerson earlier this season and she had sent Peggy to him, in Season One. I wondered why Joan wouldn’t have gone to him, what with her current situation. He apparently knew of her previous “procedures” (at least some of them).
Is it possible that Roger had once sent or taken Joan to him, when she had been pregnant before? Maybe he also had harsh words for Roger and he wanted to avoid a scene, so he took her to this other doctor.
Do we know if Roger was involved with any of Joan’s previous pregnancies? I also wonder if perhaps Joan wasn’t the first woman Roger had taken to see the angry doctor.
Smiler G: I think the reason Joan didn’t go to Dr. Emerson was societal pressure. One abortion, yes. Two, okay, but remember she didn’t confess to Dr. Emerson until well after the fact. Three–just too much. Remember what Joan told Roger in this episode, “I can’t go to my own doctor.”
Other possible and even more plausible reason: Joan’s doctor knows she’s been TRYING to get pregnant. To show up and suddenly need another “procedure” opens a whole other can of worms better left closed.
I thought that Dr. Emerson knew Greg, at least slightly, it seemed like that when she confessed the “procedures.”
I think that’s reading a bit too much into it. I simply took it as Joan offering support for the woman, while also avoiding judgement. There’s no evidence whatsoever to suggest Joan’s recalling a potential daughter.
Not to say the scene doesn’t say a lot about Joan, and the path she’s taken.
Agree with #8. I think the reason she even told Roger was to get his help in finding a Dr and to help her pay for the abortion. She really was under no obligation to tell him. This is a married man she had a one night stand (recently, anyway) with who is not her husband.
Yeah, I agree with the above in that Joan was just telling the lady she had a 15-yr old daughter to make her feel better about being there with her 17-yr old daughter.
I agree that the phantom 15 year old would have been her first child.
Does Joan really want children? We have seen her arranging her life toward that possibility but she hasn’t been crying about wanting bay–bee.
Motherhood is not an abstraction for her. She had already been pregnant twice. Did she hate the very idea of motherhood–or did she hate the idea of having a child in bad circumstances? (We know so little about her background.) I don’t think she wanted an especially rich man; she considered Paul before he became indiscreet. But she may have first-hand knowledge of poverty. And being alone.
When I watched I took Joan’s pick of “15” as a signal of commiseration (though it poses an interesting juxtaposition of “you kept yours/she’s getting rid of hers”), but after reading this it makes me wonder if Joan was really referring to herself, that she had her first abortion at 15.
As a side note: I totally agree that the speculation about “did she/didn’t she” is the least interesting aspect of this. The people who wind out over ambiguous actions or conversations, insisting that “this means they’re going to do such and such,” are usually not only completely wrong but in many cases are just using that ambiguity to project their own wish fulfillment on the story (personally I’ve found that it’s completely pointless for me to predict what the characters are going to do, mostly b/c the writers of this show are way more creative than I am). Sometimes a person bucks that trend and there’s some interesting insight to be had, but most cases it’s just tedious and boring.
The woman in the room asks how old IS your daughter. Is it possible that the 15 year old daughter is real AND alive? Possibly given up for adoption long ago. Why do we assume she was aborted?
“Shake A Do”, Anne B. Goose bumps over here. Nice work.
Thank you for addressing this Anne. And, as always, beautiful post.

“The woman in the room asks how old IS your daughter. Is it possible that the 15 year old daughter is real AND alive? Possibly given up for adoption long ago. Why do we assume she was aborted?”
————————-
Yes, yes, yes, this. I wondered as much myself. Actually, the scene confused me.
1) I’m not sure Joanie went through with the abortion, after all. When she told Roger, “I’m taking care of it,” I had to scratch my head. I wondered if she intended to raise the child without Roger’s support, or if she meant she’d handle the abortion. That line had so much double meaning.
2) I wondered whether Joan was referring to an actual abortion she had when she was a teenager or if she was just trying to comfort the woman by making her think she had a daughter in a similar situation.
3) As someone mentioned above, I wondered if Joan actually had a child, and gave it away fifteen years ago. She would have been, what? 17 or 18? Makes more sense that she’d have the child and put it up for adoption at that age, than abort it — especially back in the late 40s/early 50s. I suspect the other “procedures” happened later, once she matured and understood a little more about the world and the “options” available to her.
In any case, Joanie’s got secrets, and I can’t wait until we find out more about them.
I think she only said “fifteen” because it’s what the other woman said. And I don’t think she did it to be kind or to make the other woman feel better; she did it to make herself look less out of place.
It is a tribute to the subtlety of the writing and acting that we are stuck with mere speculation on two pretty major facts (1) whether Joan actually has a daughter and (2) whether she goes through with the abortion this time. We do know that this would be her third procedure.
On all things MM (and any good fiction) I’m firmly in the camp where we can only really rely on what we “know” that is, what we have evidence from through actions and words. Even then we have to weigh the words (and even the actions) carefully because they can mean different things or be just plain wrong.*
After that we are certainly allowed to suspect what happens based upon the character that has been carefully crafted and built up over time. It is a further tribute to the writing and Christina Hendrick’s work that we grow to truly care about her character as a person.
As to my take on things, like others I think there is no daughter and that it’s entirely in keeping with Joan’s generally empathetic character to claim that she has a daughter even younger than the daughter of the woman in the waiting room. It’s slim but I mostly attribute this to the comment about there being no one to talk to in this tough situation. I think Joan wants to connect and reach out with a small bit of fiction to make the woman feel just a little better. Of course I could be completely wrong and I love that aspect of the show. MM is one of the rare TV products that lets us think and participate with our interpretation of what is presented and that is why we are visiting the Lipp Sisters!
On whether Joan had the procedure – jump ball — I really don’t know.
*i.e. memories are probably not as sound as contemporaneous actions and words and one person’s version of what happened off screen needs to be taken with a grain (or lump) of salt.
Imagine. Imagine fifteen years passing between the termination of your first pregnancy, and the day you find yourself sitting in another office again, preparing to go through another.
Although this is actually her third time.
I agree with others here that it is open to interpretation if she had her first one 15 years before. I do think it’s a strong possibility. I also think that she may have been thinking that by now, she could have a 15-year old daughter, because she’s been in her childbearing years for a long time now. Joan’s not old, of course, but in ’65 it wasn’t as common for women to wait ’til late thirties/early forties to have children — they didn’t have in vitro and things like that back then.
IIRC, Joan’s driver license in Season 2 (’62) said she was 31? So sometime in 1965 she will turn 34. Again, not old, but for 1965, she’s at the point now where people have children…and many have already had their children.
Like Anne B., I do care about Joan (she’s fictional obviously…but still, I do care….) and hate to see her continue to go through painful situations. But I also feel confident that no matter what happens, she’ll be all right. She’s strong and she’s a fighter.
I think she absolutely said “15″ to bond with the woman who had her daughter at 15, thus making the woman feel like she did the right thing by having her daughter and that 17 wasn’t the worst thing in the world.
Another possibility too: she may have decided, while sitting there, that the woman would judge her harshly if she knew that Joan was there for an abortion, since Joan is around her age. Some people are of the mind that a teenage girl isn’t ready to be a mother, but a woman past 30 should be able to take it on.
Of course, if the doctor called Joan’s name while both women were sitting there, then the other woman would realize Joan was there for herself. But by then, the woman would probably be leaving, and Joan wouldn’t have to sit there, avoiding her judgement.
#4: I don’t know why you think Joan wouldn’t be a good mother. I think she would be a great mother. She’s warm, wise, intelligent, always present in the moment, protective, wry. I can’t picture an infant not completely safe in her arms.
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Ashlee Clark, Rachel. Rachel said: If you love #madmen, love Joan, and saw Sunday’s episode go read this. Basket of Kisses gets it again. http://bit.ly/bRnwdO […]
Early in the season, we saw Joan discussing her reproductive history with “her” OB/GYN. She mentioned her two procedures. If she had had a baby, this would have been germane to the discussion & I doubt she would have lied to him.
However, he was an old friend & knew about her desire to have a child by her husband. So I can understand why she sought help elsewhere for this last unfortunate pregnancy.
What a wonderful post! I am so with you!
#13 — thank you, I thought that too.
#24 — if doc was an old friend, chances are he already knew about whatever baby she may have given up.
I”m in the camp where I’m not automatically assuming she was pregnant. She might have had a really late period. That happened to me after 9/11, and even though I was on the pill, it’s not unheard of to get pregnant on it. To hear her say “we averted a tragedy” implies to me that she might not have been pregnant after all.
I think sometimes some people read way too much into these characters split second responses as they live their Mad Men life.
My reaction was that Joan was being compassionate by saying her daughter was 15. And I think Joan certainly did not want to get into the fact that she, a grown woman, found herself in this condition because of wreckless choices – and luckily the timing was such that the mother of the teen would not figure it out. I thought Joan has shown a lot of interest in having a baby with her husband. They were trying to get pregnant.
I love the ambiguity of the moment. Watching the episode, to me it was Joan thinking “crap, she thinks my kid is in there” and generating a response that avoids her saying she’s there for herself. Thereby preserving the shared bond with the crying mother.
But what if it was the other way, Joan remembering back?
We may never know. That’s beautiful writing.
And more central to the post, Joan is a character many of us fiercely adore. She’s real to us, and damn it we need her to catch a frickin’ break very soon.
“Some people are of the mind that a teenage girl isn’t ready to be a mother, but a woman past 30 should be able to take it on.”
Betty’s doctor came right out and said that to her when she wanted to abort.
Thanks, all, for your comments — and opposing points of view.
I went back and forth on posting this. I wondered if we hadn’t hashed this all out, over the past few days, right here.
But I kept coming back to that scene, and the way I interpreted how Joan answered the other woman’s question: as a moment of irrevocable loss. It is in the sad set of her eyes, the way that word almost drags itself from her mouth: “Fifteen.”
So much loneliness there.
For a woman of Joan’s time, whether she had terminated that first pregnancy or given it up for adoption, the net loss would have been the same. We will never meet that teenage girl — more important, neither will she.
What I have seen of Joanie’s character over the past few seasons indicates that she and I would almost never make the same choices. But it occurred to me, as I wrote this post, that I was arguing for choice itself.
And not necessarily my own, for once.
I think sometimes some people read way too much into these characters split second responses as they live their Mad Men life.
Well that is the fun interacting with the two+ layers in fiction.
Joan said it in a split second, but Weiner et al spent a much longer time writing it.
I thought it quite possible that Joan was thinking of how old her first child would’ve been. As well as helping the woman in some small way. It can be two things at once, folks. (Or not:) I thought it too (mine was a miscarriage). It stays with you. I feel the same as you, I would like something good to happen for Joan.
And while I generally don’t think this way…Christina Hendricks has said (hasn’t she?) that she wants children in real life. If she has them herself, how are they going to hide that? If she finds herself pregnant in real life, many shows don’t hide it anymore. They write it in. Just occurred to me & probably someone already wrote that…in a rush. sorry. Good post.
I’m also not sold on the idea that 15 definitely represent how old her first child would have been. Perhaps she was 15 at the time of her procedure, or 15 seemed to Joan like an age that would be acceptable for someone to be pregnant/having an abortion, given that the other woman said she had her own daughter at 15.
And while I generally don’t think this way…Christina Hendricks has said (hasn’t she?) that she wants children in real life. If she has them herself, how are they going to hide that? If she finds herself pregnant in real life, many shows don’t hide it anymore. They write it in.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. I’ve seen quite a few recent TV shows where it is not written in. And the actress wears baggy clothes, is filmed from waist up (and lots of scenes of her sitting down, behind a desk, etc.), and in some cases, featured less during the months when she gets really big.
Mad Men, as compared to a network show, has a relatively short filming schedule, so depending on the timing of a pregnancy (if it was in the actress’s first months of pregnancy or later months), it might or might not even be a big issue.
#21 I thought the same thing, that Joan was ashamed to admit that she was there for herself. That she was aborting at 30-something.
Lovely post Anne. Joanie breaks my heart. She was never more lovely, than when we saw her at home alone, ponytail clad, in PJ’s and glasses.
IMO, she was obviously too embarrassed to tell the woman at the Drs. office she was there for herself, but the 15 year old, was her first aborted fetus. I do think she did not go through with it and I believe she will miscarry.
We know so little about Joanie. I think most of us would love to know more of her back story. Hats off to MW and co. for driving us batty speculating.
Maybe Joan had her first abortion at fifteen.
Like others, I love that there are so many ways this scene can be interpretted. Certainly we’ll find out more sooner or later.
On my first viewing, I felt Joan reaching out to the other Mother out of compassion and perhaps more importantly because Joan needed to talk to another woman.
When Joanie answered “15 years”, I felt it was an easy white lie that let both parties save face. I wondered if, in answering, it caused Joan to contemplate past procedures and what “might have been”.
When we saw her the next morning and she was relatively chipper, I felt sure she had decided against the procedure.
Roger may have another child but it might or might not be Joans. (Probably not). At the end of The Mountain King (season 2) one of the partners, a woman who is not much younger than Bert says to Roger that when they joined into the merger (the one Don missed out voting on cause he skipped out and was AOL in California) that Roger would have more money for his “children”. Roger answered, “I only have the one”, which prompted the woman to give a heavily suspicious “oh” which Roger did pick up on and made a face.
(apologize if this was already mentioned.)
#39 – That was Alice Cooper, Bert’s sister, who said that to Roger, and I believe she was making a dig at him for having married Jane, who is his daughter’s age. That’s why he reacted with chagrin.
I’ll go with that. (The only other thought I came up with was Ida’s niece was really Rogers child and Bert helped her cover it up.) Thanks for getting that out of my head.
I agree with the comments about how Joan doesn’t really want kids. I don’t think she ever did or ever will. She is not a mother. She craves independence. Her marriage was/is stifling. Convention is against her nature. If she really wanted that kid, she would have kept it. No one influences Joan, not even Roger.
I remember asking my mother about having 4 kids under the age of 8 by the time she was 27 (almost 28). She said all the women’s magazines talked about finishing your childbearing before the age of 30. She said it was conventional wisdom at the time. Of course no legal abortion at the time, and certainly almost unheard of for a single woman to raise a child.
I too have watched this episode over and over and I can see why Joan may choose to keep the baby.
In the earlier seasons I always felt that Joan was just waiting to find the husband, settle down and have kids (may not be what she wanted, but that could be the only way she saw herself having a “good life”).
Then she met the doctor, and prepared to stop working and be the Dr.’s Wife. And we know it didn’t turn out that way. Remember when Greg lost his residency? When Joan had to go back to work? During that time there was a scene where Joan was trying to comfort him. Greg said something along the lines of “You don’t know what it’s like to lose something you worked so hard/hoped for.” That is when she grabbed those flowers and smashed them over his head.
Now, she is almost back to where she was before. Her husband is not in her life every day, all she can do is work. Her life is “up in the air” right now and out of her control.
Maybe she saw the opprotunity to take her life in her own hands.
(Also, I see her and Greg falling apart. I think they may be moving in different directions. Not because of the war or if there is a baby or not. )
A lovely post and I agree that your interpretation is entirely plausible. But, witness the variety of other interpretations in the comments, part of the brilliance of MM & of MW’s writing, is the richness of interpretation made possible by the ambiguity. I agree with the commentator who said that many of the commentators who seem so certain of their interpretations are simply engaging in wish fulfillment. Let me throw out an alternative interpretation of this beautifully written scene that requires much less speculation about Joan’s backstory.
We’ve repeatedly seen that Joan is fiercely private and, while almost always retaining her composure & Marilyn Monroe, breathy, whispery tone of voice, is rarely reluctant to mete out a devasting verbal blow to anyone who crosses the line. She was furious with Paul for posting her driver’s license that disclosed her birthdate. She has put Peggy in her place more than once with a cutting remark followed by a smile. The weeping mother in the doctor’s office disclosed that she had only been 15 when her 17 year old daughter had been born. After sharing this information, perhaps a little more than Joan really wanted to know, she crosses Joan’s comfort zone by asking how old Joan’s daughter is. Now, I love Joan, but isn’t it possible that, rather than being kind and sympathetic to the woman, Joan wanted to shut her up? She might have answered “15” not because it related to any daughter or abortion in her history but rather because it’s the age the woman had been when her daughter was born. In other words, Joan’s reply had the effect of saying “My daughter’s the same age you were when you had your daughter. Don’t you really wish you’d had the same option at 15 that my daughter has? Aren’t you embarrassed, on the other hand, that you just told me how glad you are that you went ahead and bore the child you were pregnant with when you were my daughter’s age? In any event, aren’t you sorry now you ever broached this subject with me? Now just let it drop & leave me alone.”
I’m not saying this is definitely what she was doing. I think all the suggestions here are interesting & possible. (Though I think some are more likely than others.) The only point I make with my offering is that it is consistent with aspects of Joan’s character we have seen before & doesn’t require any speculation about her backstory. But it’s not as much fun as imagining what Joan’s got in her past.

How old is your son? asked a man to his neighbour. My son is five times as old as my daughter and my wife is five times as old as my son. Iam twice as old as my wife whereas my grandmother, who is celebrating her eighty-first birthday is as old as all of us put togeather. How old is the man’s son?
Let daughter’s age = x
Son’s age = 5 x
Wife’s age = 5 ( 5 x ) = 2 5 x
Man’s age = 2 ( 2 5 x ) = 5 0 x
Grandmo the r’s age = 8 1 years
ATQ , x + 5 x + 2 5 x + 5 0 x = 8 1 years
8 1 x = 8 1

Answer:
Let daughter’s age = x
Son’s age = 5x
Wife’s age = 5(5x) = 25x
Man’s age = 2(25x) = 50x
Grandmother’s age = 81 years
ATQ, x+5x+25x+50x = 81 years
81x = 81
x = 81/81
x = 1
Son’s age = 5x = 5×1 = 5 years
