PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
A sample of individual stories which invite discussion and debate on issues which remain critically important today, none more so than online dating as age is no barrier to personal connection.
Description
What do we know about sexuality and ageing?
A childhood in regional NSW and the 1970s in Sydney with trailblazers of the second wave women's movement sets the scene for a sample of individual stories from women who lived through that era. The contraceptive pill, the late entrance to higher education and political activism are all part of the story.
It's more than a conversation starter and the topics canvassed will no doubt invite discussion as well as debate. Many of the issues remain critically important today and none more so than online dating - age is no barrier to people seeking personal connection.
Critic Reviews
'An extremely well told narrative which flags many of the significant social changes older women in Australia today will all relate to.'
Dr Susan Goodwin
Professor of Social Policy Research
University of Sydney
'A much needed addition to the conversation on sex and ageing and our continuing needs later in life. Glenda shows just how important intimacy and connection continues to be all throughout life.'
