Summary: Americans have always had a complicated relationship with aging - and women have been on the front lines of the battle, willingly or not. Collins illustrates the ways in which age is an arbitrary concept that has swung back and forth over the centuries. From Plymouth Rock to the first female nominee for president, she provides a social history of American women and aging - and gives women a reason to expect the best from what's to come.
