Women and Ageing in the Twentieth Century
Pat Thanes Beitrag verbindet statistische Befunde mit subjektiven Dimensionen des Alter(n)s. Sie weist nicht nur auf die relative Variabilität der "offiziellen", seitens des Staates bzw. der staatlichen Pensionssysteme fixierten Definitionen von Alter hin, die in Europa zwischen 60 und 70 Jahren schwanken, sondern auch darauf, dass solche Definitionen und die medial vermittelten Stereotypen zum Alter den vielfältigen Erfahrungen und Selbstbildern der alten Frauen entgegen laufen. Im zweiten Teil ihres Beitrages belegt sie anhand von Selbstzeugnissen deren Widerständigkeit gegenüber solchen Zuschreibungen, was durchaus eine Kontinuität zu früheren Jahrhunderten darstellt. Als weitere Kontinuitäten betont Thane das auch im 20. Jahrhundert zu konstatierende höhere Risiko für Frauen, von Altersarmut betroffen zu werden, sowie die ungeachtet mancher Angleichungen unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen von Frauen und Männern beim Eintritt in das "Pensionsalter".
