Contemporary Cultural Norms from the Vantage Point of a Younger Woman of Color.

The author reflects upon her identity, normative assumptions of aging, how they relate to other values that inform her culture and ethnicity, and how she sees older women in her community responding to the dominant culture. The author centers upon the experiences of her grandmother and mother as a way of anchoring her inquiry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
