Challenging the negative stereotypes surrounding aging in North American culture, the book explores how contemporary Canadian literature and film feature articulate elderly female characters. Instead of promoting idealized images of aging, it emphasizes constructive portrayals that foster new narratives about growing old. The author advocates for a nuanced understanding of aging that acknowledges the body's role while highlighting the social and cultural dimensions of the experience. The progression from the individual to a community of older women underscores the importance of these representations.
