Annotation | This paper examines how women in a nursing home setting establish close ties with other women to sustain themselves in old age, and contrasts women's experiences with those of men. The author considers the role of negative interaction in personal relationships, the meaning of intimacy and reciprocity in the nursing home context, and issues of age and gender. |
