Misogyny and The Middle Age Female "OTHER"

Revisado: 08-04-24

A huge break through work with an exceptionally strong theoretical foundation that places misogyny women
have experienced throughout centuries in the context of female biology and in this case, signs of aging.

Smith examines the social phenomenon of female middle age and the ways women are targeted by a widespread, personalized contempt, hate, and even violent disdain for the social crime of "she who did not stay young".

Aside from violence and brutality, the only slightly less painful consequence of middle aged woman's total erasure by cultural conditioning that so insistently pressures younger women to dismiss and cut all inter-generational connection, and opportunity to learn from the wisdom of their middle aged sisters, pushing young women toward increased isolation and vulnerability to the incredibly damaging effects of misogyny.

Exceptional writing and narration this book a true ground breaker that will have all women banding together to embrace and affirm the social connectedness so paramount to our successful collective survival.
