Typically, according to contributors to this book, it means greater freedom, sometimes including greater sexual freedom, more authority, and opportunities for social recognition. A unique collection of articles about middle-aged women in different cultures around the world, this expanded and updated volume contains two new chapters.From reviews of the first edition.''Punctures a myth which has become as pervasive as it is pernicious.''-- Newsweek''In traditional cultures, some women benefit from aging.''-- New York Times Magazine''The range and quality of data on middle-aged women presented in one volume make this book a treasure.''-- Contemporary Sociology
