Title: Women, feminism, and aging
First published: 1998
Description: In this volume, Dr. Browne outlines a new vision for understanding older women and their place in society. The author draws together the major themes of feminist writers and thinkers and develops alternatives to the present "devaluing" of older women - reconceptualizing what growing older can mean to women.

She suggests a number of strategies to improve the lives of older women and, ultimately, looks to a new epistemology of women and age for a more respectful vision of women - and men - in the later years. The volume's style will appeal to professionals and students in social work and sociology.
