- Description
- This collection engages with representations of women and ageing in literature and visual culture. Cultural conceptions of ageing are constructed and challenged across a variety of media and genres. Exploring the process of ageing in its cultural reflections the authors analyse how artists, writers, directors and performers challenge cultural constructions of ageing women, as well as give voice to ageing women’s subjectivities. The book concludes with an afterword by Germaine Greer which suggests possible avenues for future research.
