| Annotation | A review of gerontological literature on elder abuse and feminist literature on wife assault points to the conceptual and practice divisions that have separated attention to age and gender, and thus obscured older women's experience of abuse by their male partners. Two Canadian qualitative data sources are explored: the oral history of a woman who left her husband in her 70s after a lifetime of abuse; and the results of a focus group of service providers working with older people who were concerned about the inadequate responses of health and social services to older women abused by their husbands.
