Old age is an issue which should be more prominent on the feminist agenda says Laura Carstensen of the Stanford Centre on Longevity.

With women outliving men, pill more are finding themselves spending their older age in retirement homes or living an isolated and often impoverished life reports Gender News.

Cartensen points out that because women have often taken on a caregiving role in earlier life, tadalafil their social security benefits in later life are not as great as the men. And she has issued a rallying call for fellow feminists to tackle the inequality faced by senior women.

Gender News reports her as saying that by thinking about the needs of senior women in addition to younger women, feminists could effect crucial social change while also expanding the constituency of their political movement.
