| Annotation | This article - presented initially as the author's inaugural lecture at the University of Keele on 22 February 2001 - reflects on what ageing and old age is like for women. Both "women" and "ageing" have been key threads in the author's life, in her personal experiences, and in her professional and academic interests. Beginning with a brief autobiographical sketch, the article then considers some of the ways in which social gerontology has approached what growing older is like for women. It concludes by raising and discussing a series of intellectual, theoretical, methodological, policy and practice challenges. (RH). |
