Beschreibung

What images come to mind with the words: women, aging, old, even elderly? Are they stereotypes? Are there any positive associations? 13 chapters explore images of old women from medieval "old wives? to contemporary reimaginations of shamans and witches and empowering self-portraits. Works from medieval Europe to colonial-time Polynesia, present West Africa, Japan, and the Americas, in a multiplicity of media are explored. These studies of varied representations of "old women? offer fresh perspectives and a dialogue about society's values and preconceptions regarding the "golden years? in different times and cultures and the wisdom of our elders.
