Abstract

The complexity of women's experience of ageing takes new forms in an environment which glorifies youth. Society's beliefs, demands and stereotypes, promoted by the media and advertising, serves to reinforce ageism. Before adapting to their internal reality they firstly need to adapt to their external reality. Adapting and accepting oneself means taking care of oneself, taking control of one's life and liking oneself, in order to embrace the inevitable changes and preserve a good self-image.
