Age is irrelevant to older women who are in their prime. They may not enjoy looking in the mirror as much as they once did, but they really haven't changed very much at all. They still yearn to dress up and party, keep up in the modern world, and they may even still hope to meet the partner of their dreams. But like everyone else they have their ups and their downs, diets and exercise to struggle with, probably a few extra aches and pains and, of course, the knowledge that they are in the autumn of their lives. So as the years tick by, there's no time to lose to buy more shoes, read through old love letters, or rent a camper van for the weekend. With full-time work almost certainly all but forgotten, there are also family and friends to keep up with, and lots of reminiscing to do. In her collection of humorous poems, Nicola Madge takes a wry look at the thrills, anxieties and everyday activities that are all part of growing older. Geo Parkin adds to the comedy with his original and evocative illustrative cartoons.

Prize-winning author Susan J. Douglas calls on women of all ages to join together now to fight against gendered ageism, to secure our country’s financial safety net, and to make a brighter, more welcome future for older women. Do you see women your age portrayed as puttering gardeners and docile grannies? Do you feel bombarded by anti-aging products that insist you must "defy" getting older? And have you had enough, and are ready to challenge the intertwining of sexism and ageism in our culture? Know that you are not alone. Susan J. Douglas declares that it is time for the largest female generation over fifty to reinvent what it means to be an older woman and to challenge the outdated stereotypes—think doddering or shrewish—that Hollywood and TV have assigned them. She zones in on how the anti-aging cosmetics industry targets older and younger women alike with their products, and how Big Pharma ads equate getting older with disease and decline. Douglas exposes the ageism that mature women face at work, and why conservatives’ decades-long attacks on Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare disproportionately affect women. With a sharp sense of justice and fresh wit, In Our Prime sees a social movement emerging that may help to create a different view of—and life for—older women. It celebrates the women who broke down legal barriers in the past, as well as today’s activists, career women, actors, and others who defy stereotypical images by embracing their age, by remaining strong, and by being socially involved.

This book demonstrates how the largely neglected and multifaceted concept of distance can be used as a primary lens to expand and enrich our understandings of what older people say about their lives, needs and wishes in diverse surroundings in the Northern periphery and beyond. It asks how physical, social and emotional distances shape older people’s everyday lives and practices. Contributions from leading experts provides interdisciplinary investigations into the experiences and stories of older people in the Northern periphery. These insights demonstrate the utility of the concept, distance, when reflecting on the central aspects of contemporary ageing societies. The book explores key themes such as care, age politics, technology, intergenerational relations and migration, providing perspectives that are applicable across a variety of international geographical contexts. This innovative book offers a valuable theoretical and methodological contribution with critical new perspectives on ageing in relation to distances. It will be of interest to students and scholars interested in sociology, human geography, health and social care, ageing and gerontological studies, gender studies and Arctic studies.
