Book Synopsis
Drawing on evidence from biomedicine, literature, economics, and personal stories, this title probes the ageism that drives discontent with our bodies, our selves, and our accomplishments - and makes us easy prey for marketers who want to sell us an illusory vision of youthful perfection.

Trade Review
"We haven't done justice to age in the popular press. Margaret Gullette may change that. It will be a more mature country that takes note of so important a voice, giving hope that our culture may yet value wrinkles-the face's road map of experience-accumulated from smiles, tears, and the hard-won wisdom of the body." -Bill Moyers "Eloquent and infuriating, packed with facts and bristling with ideas, Agewise is essential reading for anyone who is 'aging'-which is to say, everyone." -Katha Pollitt"
