Are the prerogatives of age universal? This first-ever
anthropological exploration of relationships between older and
younger women suggests that this may be the case.
Cross-cultural in nature, the volume looks at relationships
between women of different age groups in a village in Taiwan, a
town in central Sudan, a rural setting in western Kenya, an Andean
peasant community, a horticultural village in Melanesia, and an
Aboriginal community in Australia. Adding an interspecies
perspective is a study of two age groups of Japanese Macaques.
Included is an ethnographic bibliography that lists books with a
wealth of information on women in sixty societies.
The volume will appeal not only to anthropologists but also to
readers interested in women's issues, gender studies, life course
studies, gerontology, and intergenerational relations.
