| Keywords | Older women ; Widows ; Divorced persons ; United States of America. |
| Annotation | New perspectives on the problems older women face adjusting to life after divorce or the death a spouse are examined. Practitioners, researchers and academics cover issues that include physical and psychological well-being (clinical depression, nutrition), economics (reduced Social Security benefits, loss of personal income, health care costs), social support (public policy, counselling), and living arrangements. Although most contributions reflect a US perspective, the book also includes insights of living arrangement transitions of divorced and widowed women in the UK, family support in the Philippines and Fiji, and anthropological perspectives of sub-Saharan Africa. This book has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Women and Aging, vol 15, nos 2/3, 2003. (RH). |
