Description: Mother Time opens up a novel area of inquiry: the ethical dimension of women's experiences of aging. Fifteen distinguished contributors offer original essays that explore the assumptions, experiences, and public policies that affect women's well-being and dignity in later life. The book brings to the study of women's aging a reflective dimension missing from the empirical work that has predominated to date.
