Beschreibungen

What images come to mind with the words &quote;women&quote;, &quote;aging&quote;, &quote;old&quote;, even &quote;elderly&quote;? Are they stereotypes? Are there anypositive associations? The thirteen contributions to this edited volume explore a broad range of images of old women, ranging from medieval &quote;old wives&quote; to contemporary re-imaginations of shamans and witches and empowering self-portraits. Works from medieval Europe to colonialtime Polynesia, present West Africa, Japan, and the Americas, in a multiplicity of media are explored in detail. These studies of varied representations of &quote;old women&quote; offer fresh perspectives and an engaging dialogue about society's values and preconceptions regarding the wisdom of our elders and the &quote;golden years&quote; in different times and cultures.
