Description

"Jeanette Miller, herself a resident of Amherst's Clark House, is dedicated to the permanent dismantling of the myths, stereotypes, and false information directed toward women over the age of sixty. [This book], based on interviews and observation, is a testament to the Clark House women who are breaking society-generated constraints in aging, and finding pos­sibilities and joys in their lives. [It] is a compilation of seventeen vignettes featuring women who had families, work, and challenges, in addition to living through an historic period of change in terms of expectations for women, race relations, and the impact of military life in wartime." --Publisher.
