Summary:
"With a sharp sense of justice and humor, Susan J. Douglas confronts ageism against
women
in media, work, and politics. In the 1970s, baby boom
women
began to redefine
women
's lives and opportunities. Now, that they are the largest American female generation over fifty, Susan J. Douglas argues that these feminist boomers are again challenging outdated stereotypes, and
reinventing
what it means to be
older
and female. This is a demographic revolution, and Douglas proposes that it's time for a new wave of activism to address ageism against
women
in all its manifestations. In
Our
Prime
takes on the cosmetics industry for its expensive products and anti-aging messages; Big Pharma for its images of docile grannies and puttering gardeners; and Hollywood and TV for seeing females over fifty as has-beens. She exposes the financial insecurity many face even as conservatives continue their attack on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and calls on
women
of every age to unite to combat gendered ageism and to secure
our
country's financial safety net."--From publisher.
