A Feminist Perspective on Anti-Aging Medicine

A Feminist Perspective on Anti-Aging Medicine

Holstein considers anti-aging medicine, a potential new weapon in the postmodern task of self-creation, through a feminist lens. It is her view that, short of a major cultural upheaval, older women will experience the negative effects of anti-aging medicine more forcefully than will men.
