Books by Jean M. Coyle

Families have become an increasingly important source of support for the elderly, and gerontologists are directing more and more attention to older adults and their families.

Coyle has compiled an impressive bibliography of more than 600 books, articles, government documents, films, and dissertations on women and the aging proces.

The first section provides a historical and theoretical perspective on women and aging and covers topics such as sexism and ageism, representations of older women in the arts, and the attitudes of society toward aging women.
