| Annotation | Dementia disproportionately affects women, but their experiences and voices are missing from research and literature. Using stories and reflections from individual women, the report shows that there is often resistance to talking about dementia as a women's issue; that research needs to focus on the voices, experiences and perceptions of women affected by dementia; that service provision needs to reflect the needs, skills and attributes of women with dementia, female carers and the female care workforce; and that the way women experience dementia is affected by gender, but also by many other factors including education, ethnicity, sexuality, class, age, and disability.
