Unsettling Activisms - Critical Interventions on Aging, Gender, and Social Change (Paperback)

How and why do "ordinary" women engage in various forms of social-change work at different times in their lives? What does it mean for these women to age as activists? Unsettling Activisms brings together insights from academics and activists in an intergenerational conversation that addresses these questions. Drawing on diverse lived experiences, including contributions from leading feminist and age studies scholars, this volume investigates how powerful, interlocking forms of difference such as gender, class, race, ability, ethnicity, sexuality, and indigeneity, shape the meaning and experience of both aging and activism. This vital resource consists of eight analytic chapters and eight vibrant reflective pieces. This collection is best suited for undergraduate and graduate courses in gender studies, activist and social movement studies, and age and aging studies.
