The Fountain of Age

Defying accepted wisdom about love and work in old age, and about conventional male and female roles as we get older, Betty Friedan weaves together her own experience of age and a radical look at research studies and interviews. Her aim is to show that ageing is a new stage - a time of growth, not the final slide from youth. Betty Friedan is the author of "The Feminine Mystique" and "The Second Stage".
