Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having rejected the accoutrements of feminine beauty in a patriarchal society in their youth, 1970's feminists are now confronted with old age. Meaning to encourage the aging woman to embrace the "older other" within her, contributors here explore issues unique to older women in our culture and seek to redress the societal invalidation, neglect and isolation of the older woman as she attempts to grapple with the aging process itself.
