This collection of essays opens up a novel area of inquiry: the ethical dimension of women's experiences of ageing. They explore assumptions, experiences, practices, and public policies that affect women's well-being and dignity in later life.
Fifteen original essays open up a novel area of inquiry: the distinctively ethical dimensions of women''s experiences of and in aging. Contributors distinguished in the fields of feminist ethics and the ethics of aging explore assumptions, experiences, practices, 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. Ethical studies of aging have so far failed to emphasize gender. And feminist ethics has neglected older women, even when emphasizing other dimensions of ''difference.'' Finally work on aging in all fields has focused on the elderly, while this volume sees aging as an extended process of negotiating personal and social change.
