"Once depicted as witches, croneks, and hags in fiction, burned at the stake in the not-so-distant past, the older woman is still largely scorned in America today. In a solidly researched, compassionate study, Ruth Jacobs...presents a frank assessment of the older woman's position in American society.

She shows how they can increase the opportunity for their personal growth"--Back cover. |
