| Annotation | While sexism and ageism in the US health care system have been systematically documented, nowhere is the treatment of ageing women more androcentric than in care for the terminally ill. In fact, a terminally ill older woman is too often disadvantaged by a health care system which excludes her from decision-making and renders her powerless. In response, the authors propose a feminist approach to health care for terminally ill older women, and argue that it is this approach which will not only put knowledge and power into the hands of older women, but will change the fundamental ways in which women approach death.
