520    "Ann Burack-Weiss, a gerontologist with more than forty 
       years of experience, analyzes and engages with the 
       writings of a dozen well-known authors for insights into 
       old age. Featured are Maya Angelou, Colette, Simone de 
       Beauvoir, Joan Didion, M.F.K Fisher, Doris Grumbach, 
       Carolyn Heilburn, Doris Lessing, Florida Scott-Maxwell, 
       May Sarton, Anne Roiphe, and Alexis Kate Shulman, among 
       others, all of whom wrote about essential issues in old 
       age including physical changes and disability, living 
       alone, reflecting on and revaluing the past, generativity,
       public life, and the changing roles of family and friends.
       Burack-Weiss frames the reading of these texts in relevant
       theory and research including an introduction that 
       discusses narrative theory and developmental, 
       gerontological, and feminist perspectives on the older 
       woman" --|cProvided by publisher.
