As individual older women take the stage as role models in the arts and the public sphere, female elders as a group are marginalized as dependent, declining and unimportant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen and Aging\u003c\/i\u003e surveys the evolving sociopolitical landscape in an era still struggling with gender and age discrimination. This insightful volume recasts familiar concepts such as social roles, appearance, health, sexuality and transition through the related lenses of empowerment\/restraint and quality of life\/well-being for a deeper understanding of the disparities that exist both with men and within their own gender. Two especially relevant questions emerge from this framework: how women over 60 are contributing to the current climate of societal change and how these positive developments can improve the lives of older women as a whole. Featured topics analyze the wider implications of older women's experiences as family members, sensual and sexual beings, drivers of economies and members of a diverse population worldwide:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder women, power and the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder women, economic power and consumerism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe impact of multiple roles on older women: Strain or enrichment?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOlder women, leadership and encore careers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSexuality in older women: Desirability and desire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLesbians over 60: Newer every day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical interventions to empower older women.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA significant advance in femi\u003c\/p\u003enist research, \u003ci\u003eWomen and Aging\u003c\/i\u003e brings path-breaking perspectives to\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003escholars in women’s studies, gerontology, psychology, sociology, social work and human development, whether they study women who have overcome barriers or those who need support in changing the rules.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319343396\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-09306-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 172\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692910919820,"sku":"9783319343396","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319343396.jpg?v=1776701375","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319343396","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
