Here is a unique text that examines the lives of middle-aged and
old women. Women, Aging and Ageism, in response to the lack of
literature that focuses on aging women, presents timely and
definitive research that illustrates the implications of ageism and
sexism. This landmark volume challenges powerful myths and
dangerous stereotypes and identifies the damaging restrictions that
society forces upon aging women. In extending feminist research to
middle and old age, the chapters taken together comprise a critique
of the conditions of the last third of women's lives. The authors
use analytical tools and methodologies developed and modified by
feminists to explore questions previously unasked. They focus on
issues of deep concern to women at midlife and beyond, including
the politics of reproduction, sexuality, social isolation, violence
against women, equal opportunity, and the feminization of
poverty.Women, Aging and Ageism is available for classroom
adoption. Ideal for students and helping professionals working with
middle-aged and old women and their families, this book provides
models of effective interventions grounded in field research and
clinical practice. For all readers concerned about middle-aged and
old women and the quality of their lives, Women, Aging and Ageism
is a rich resource filled with ideas and information and an
affirmative new volume about the limitless possibilities of women's
achievement in midlife and old age.
