Critical Feminist Gerontology: In the Back Room of Research

, &
Pages 44-58 | Published online: 18 Jan 2012
 

Abstract

The article takes a feminist approach to gerontology. It examines the stereotypes of ageism that derive from the relationship between culture and old age. It establishes the requirements for a type of research that reflects women's own experience of growing older, as well as the social construction of values related to women's old age. It focuses on the sociocultural features of this population, which faces old age with certain limitations, but also with unparalleled assets.
