AnnotationSpecifically feminist perspectives are largely absent from the developing discourse of elder abuse in the UK. This paper describes how focus groups were used to gather older women's understandings and experiences of elder abuse. A perspective of elder abuse that prioritises relationships, rather than action or behaviour, is proposed as central to assessing the relations abuse in later life. (RH).
