Drawing on in-depth interviews conducted over a ten year period, Hurd Clarke brings alive feminist theories about ageing, beauty work, femininity, and the body.Diversity and aging.Beauty, PersonalMiddle-aged womenPsychologyAgingPsychological aspectsMiddle-aged womenPhysiological aspectsFeminine beauty (Aesthetics)Self-esteem in womenBeauty, Personal.Middle-aged womenPsychology.AgingPsychological aspects.Middle-aged womenPhysiological aspects.Feminine beauty (Aesthetics)Self-esteem in women.306.4/613Hurd Clarke Laura1969-1475566MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785328303321Facing age3689804UNINA
