"In this courageous study, Lynne Segal addresses the vicissitudes of ageing, a process that lies in wait for us all. She turns on the subject a critical eye honed by social psychology, psychoanalysis, feminism and radical politics. An original, probing and unsettling exploration." - Stuart Hall, author of Representation "It's about time for a book like Out of Time, compassionate, seasoned, honest, and wise, which asks questions about age but aims to enlighten, rather than frighten us. Read on!" - Elaine Showalter, author of A Jury of Her Peers "An international treasure." - Barbara Ehrenreich "A unique capacity for clarity and wit, along with her courage of intellect." - Sheila Rowbotham "One of the most capacious readers of feminism and sexuality studies I have ever encountered." - Judith Butler "Passionate, lucid, and shockingly candid ... a clarion call to those who see feminism as a redundant cause." - Helen Walsh "A powerful manifesto for dealing with the march of time." - Yvonne Roberts, Observer "A reflective essay on perceptions of ageing." - Tessa Hadley, Guardian "...a wonderfully honest look into a subject everyone should be thinking about." - Pop Matters "So what does it mean to age gracefully? How is this done? These questions are at the centre of this thoughtful new book" - The Economist "An engaging exploration of the brutal realities for yesteryear's feminists." - Joan Bakewell, The Independent "A seriously thoughtful book about being old - engagingly and evocatively written." - Stina Lyon, Times Higher Education
