A profound and sympathetic investigation of ageing, in life and literature
Lynne Segal is Anniversary Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck College. Her books include Out of Time, Is the Future Female? Troubled Thoughts on Contemporary Feminism; and Slow Motion: Changing Masculinities, Changing Men.
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
