In the footsteps of Simone de Beauvoir, \u003ci\u003eOut of Time\u003c\/i\u003e looks at many of the issues facing the aged—the war of the generations and baby-boomer bashing, the politics of desire, the diminished situation of the older woman, the space on the left for the presence and resistance of the old, the problems of dealing with loss and mortality, and how to find victory in survival.“So what does it mean to age gracefully? How is this done? These questions are at the centre of a thoughtful new book from Lynne Segal.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Economist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “\u003ci\u003eOut of Time\u003c\/i\u003e is a thoughtful, reflective book.
