Series Statement:
Diversity and aging
Content:
"Facing Age" examines the relationship between ageing and women in a culture obsessed with youthfulness. From weight gain, to wrinkles, to sagging skin, to gray hair, the book explores older women's complex and often contradictory feelings about their bodies and the physical realities of growing older. Drawing on in-depth interviews conducted over a ten year period, Hurd Clarke brings alive feminist theories about ageing, beauty work, femininity, and the body.
