Shame and the Aging WomanConfronting and Resisting Ageism in Contemporary Women's Writings /[electronic resource] :by J. Brooks Bouson. - 1st ed. 2016. - IX, 212 p.online resource. - Palgrave Studies in Affect Theory and Literary Criticism,2634-6311. - Palgrave Studies in Affect Theory and Literary Criticism,.

Preface -- Chapter 1: Aging Women and the Age Mystique: Age Anxiety and Body Shame in the Contemporary Culture of Appearances -- Chapter 2: The Mask of Aging and the Social Devaluation and Sexual Humiliation of the Aging and Old Woman -- Chapter 3: Facing the Stranger in the Mirror in Illness, Disability,and Physical Decline -- Chapter 4: Confronting and Resisting an Unlivable Age Culture. .

This book brings together the research findings of contemporary feminist age studies scholars, shame theorists, and feminist gerontologists in order to unfurl the affective dynamics of gendered ageism. In her analysis of what she calls “embodied shame,” J. Brooks Bouson describes older women’s shame about the visible signs of aging and the health and appearance of their bodies as they undergo the normal processes of bodily aging. Examining both fictional and nonfiction works by contemporary North American and British women authors, this book offers a sustained analysis of the various ways that ageism devalues and damages the identities of otherwise psychologically healthy women in our graying culture. Shame theory, as Bouson shows, astutely explains why gendered ageism is so deeply entrenched in our culture and why even aging feminists may succumb to this distressing, but sometimes hidden, cultural affliction.
