Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
These essays are imaginative forays into the terrain where issues of gender and of aging intersect. Various moral problems are given illuminating and overdue attention, and in addressing them, the authors clarify deficiencies in much dominant moral theorizing. — Virginia Held, City University of New York
Sharp critiques and fresh writing startle us into more careful thought and (I hope) more caring advocacy. . . . The gender-savvy moral philosophy of this volume joins other new work in the arts and humanities to suggest that feminist age studies is going to have a good millennium. — Margaret Morganroth Gullette, Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University; author of Agewise: Fighting the New Ageism in America
Mother Time is a vivid, contentious invitation to engage in rethinking widespread assumptions about aging and gender, the better to understand ethical dimensions of women’s experiences of aging. All essays are insightful, engaging, and clearly written. ―
Feminist FormationsI am greatful to the contributors to Mother Time for focusing on a number of issues associated with aging. — Mary Mahowald ―
