This innovative, ethnographic study of a neighborhood beauty salon
investigates how customers constitute a lively, affirming community
of peers during their weekly visits. Facing the Mirror gives voice
to older women, who, in a sexist and ageist society, are frequently
devalued and rendered invisible. These older, mostly Jewish women
articulate their experiences of bodily self-presentation,
femininity, aging, and caring pertaining to their lives within and
outside Julie's International Salon. This book explores the
socio-moral significance of these experiences which reveals as much
about society as about older women themselves. Women's narratives
expose structures of power, inequality, and resistance in the ways
women perceive reality, make choices and live in their worlds.
