Synopsis

You Look Good for Your Age is a collection of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry about ageism by 29 women writers ranging in age from forties to nineties. The anthology responds to a culture that values youth and that positions aging in women as a failure. Questions arise. What effects do negative social assumptions have on women as they age? What messages about aging do we pass on to our daughters? The collection includes personal essays, short stories, poetry, and hybrid pieces, and ranges in tone from serious to whimsical to satirical to angry.
