This book brings the subversive aesthetic strategies of older women to the forefront, using the concept of ‘unruliness’, understood as a failure or unwillingness to conform.Drawing on critical age studies, feminist theory and allied critical approaches, the book develops a new conceptual model that positions ageing women’s aesthetic interventions as a source of insight and social change. Combining theory with close readings of art and media, this book is a bold framework for rethinking ageing, sexuality and empowerment.
