| Annotation | Insights were gained of how ageing is experienced by some women living alone in Switzerland. A feminist methodology was used to gather and interpret 17 interviews conducted with a selected group of 9 older women living alone. Interviews were taped and transcribed for hermeneutic analysis. Major themes developed - Ageing happens, Independence, Being vulnerable, Memory and ageing, and If I had been a boy. (KJ/RH). |
