    Book, 1st ed, Henry Holt, 2005
  • Description

    As she heard story after story of middle-aged women radically changing course in search of greater fulfillment, a trend began to emerge: an entire generation of women was experiencing the tumultuous transition of midlife in ways not seen before. Emboldened by the financial independence to act upon midlife desires, exhausted by decades of playing supermom and repressing the feminine sides of themselves to succeed at work, women are shedding the age roles of the past in favor of new pursuits in adventure, sports, sex, romance, education, and spirituality.

    Book, Sage Publications, 1994
  • Description

    Rich with primary data, Women Growing Older presents new research on older women and relates it to the psychology of adult development and aging. After an introductory chapter that brings together conceptions of gender and aging, well-known contributors examine how women decide to balance work and career, marriage and motherhood, and the results of such life decisions. Students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of aging, gender, psychology, sociology, family studies, social work, and nursing will appreciate the excellent material and insights contained in Women Growing Older. –Choice “This is the first book (of which I am aware) to provide a theoretical integration of feminist perspectives on the psychology of aging in terms of women’s experiences. By their approach to selecting the contents of the book, the editors employed feminist principles of acknowledging (a) heterogeneity of experience across groups of women, whether categorized by cohort, racial ethnic background, or stage of the life course, and (b) the importance of using diverse methods to gather data.
