Flying in the face of this culture's extreme ageism STILL DOING IT explores the lives of older women. Partnered, single, straight, gay, black and white nine extraordinary women, age 67-87, express with startling honesty and humor how they feel about themselves, sex and love in later life and the poignant realities of aging.
Outspoken for their generation these women mark a sea change. Women over 65 are already the fastest growing segment of the population and when the baby boomers begin to turn 65 in 2011 their numbers will swell.
How can we as a society remain so obsessed with youth marginalizing so many of us? STILL DOING IT follows the lives of these women as well as this society's complex relationship to aging with surprising and revelatory results.
