ESRC: From the mundane to the magnificent, researchers find when women explore their feelings about being or becoming 'older women' their responses can be both challenging & humorous. Findings from the project entitled 'Look at me! Images of Women and Ageing' have revealed the complexity of women’s feelings about images of ageing. These findings are presented in various exhibitions in Sheffield running from 9 March to 15 April.
After investigating stereotypical images of ageing women, the messages these images give out and how they affect women's well-being, the project facilitators encouraged the women to create new and alternative images using photography, art therapy, and video techniques.
