Description

This ethnographic study of a neighbourhood beauty salon investigates how customers constitute a lively, affirming community of peers during their weekly visits. The book seeks to give voice to older women, who, in a sexist and ageist society, are frequently devalued and rendered invisible. Within the text, these older, mostly Jewish, women articulate their experiences of bodily self-preservation, feminity, ageing and caring pertaining to their lives within and outside Julie's International Salon.
