| Annotation | In spite of women's active involvement in a woman's health care movement, the mainline health care system continues to hold tight to its androcentric focus. If women are to be subjected to a health care system using sexist and ageist practices, their quality life in later years will continue to be jeopardised. The purpose of this paper is first, to recognise the existing health care practices that limit older women's health care opportunities and choices; and second, to discuss how such basic feminist principles as education, egalitarianism, empowerment, and inclusion can be used to improve older women's experience.
