Insights on Aging: Women Growing Older

Community Education Program

Presenter
Sharon Dornberg-Lee, LCSW 
Clinical Director, Community Services 

Prominent feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan have tackled the issue of aging as a feminist issue. More recently, popular shows such as Grace & Frankie have taken a humorous look at this issue. But what are the implications of this for the everyday lives of women as they grow older? How can a gender lens help to illuminate the challenges of aging?  How do societal expectations of women “of a certain age” affect one’s perceptions of self? This program will explore how aging and gender intersect.
