Product Description

Until recently, research on late adulthood has focused on men. This book views the aging process in women age fifty and beyond in their vintage years (so named because people of this age are aging to perfection like vintage wine). Twenty-five women between the ages of 50 and 90 describe their own experiences dealing with the nine developmental tasks typical of late adulthood, revealing the “inner process” of aging not before recognized by researchers in the psychology of late adulthood. The words of these women belie the common belief that aging means catastrophe and endless decline physically and emotionally. The “voices” of these women reveal aging as the full flowering of a process of growth that started at conception.
