Facing the Mirror: Older Women and Beauty Shop Culture

by Frida Kerner Furman (Author)

Synopsis

This ethnographic study of a neighbourhood beauty salon investigates how customers constitute a lively, affirming community of peers during their weekly visits. The book seeks to give voice to older women, who, in a sexist and ageist society, are frequently devalued and rendered invisible.
