| Summary: | Aging in women has traditionally been defined by the menopause, however it is often social and economic changes which are more important to women.<br> In Aging in WomenLinda Gannon redresses the balance. From a feminist perspective, she critically reviews current research and provides a more comprehensive analysis of the psychological effects of life-span changes for older women.
