| Annotation | This naturalistic study explores the midlife experiences of Black women, some of whom identified as Caribbean emigrants and some as African American. An initial focus group of 13 women met in New York City. Two subsequent meetings were each attended by 7 of the original 13 women. Data were analysed using a grounded theory approach. Results were compared with those of three similar studies: one with rural Caucasian women; one with a group of women who identified as lesbians; and one with a racially mixed group of urban women. Counselling implications of shared and differing experiences are discussed. (KJ/RH). |
