Agewise

In Agewise, renowned cultural critic Margaret Morganroth Gullette reveals that much of what we dread about aging is actually the result of ageism - which we can, and should, battle as strongly as we do racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry. A bracing, controversial call for a movement of resistance, Agewise will surprise, enlighten, and, perhaps most important, bring hope to readers of all ages.

Margaret Morganroth Gullette isthe author of three previous books, including Aged by Culture, also published by the University of Chicago Press, and a resident scholar in the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University.
