What is Women Over Forty: Visions And Realities (springer Series, Focus On Women) about?

Older women are here to stay. In fact, there are, and will be, more of them each succeeding decade. However, the literature on women has singularly failed to focus on t~e unique life experiences of the woman over 40. Literature in gerontology has been equally remiss in failing to examine the problems of older women as distinct from those encountered by aging men. Traditional approaches to gerontology have examined primarily those issues of aging pertinent to men while neglecting the issues specific to women. Yet because of their increased longevity, most older people are women. There are more than 12.8 million women in the United States aged 65 or older, and an additional 22 million women in the middle-aged population (ages 45-64). Together, these women comprise 16 percent of this country's inhabitants.
