The literature scrutinized was written primarily in the twentieth century and illustrates how writers utilize older women for satire, humor, and\/or castigation of whole societies. Women of means and mothers are often negative depictions whereas women who are activists or adopt a social concern they want remedied are positive depictions. It is made obvious that older women are currently moving beyond roles prescribed for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beth Ann Bassein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820422053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820422053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Beth Ann Bassein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453410881791,"sku":"9780820422053","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89e896fa-116b-45a5-8ae6-0da65f9a329a.jpg?v=1777300071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-matriarchs-power-beth-ann-bassein-9780820422053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
