Overview

What do we know about sexuality and ageing? A childhood in regional NSW and the 1970s in Sydney with trailblazers of the second wave women's movement sets the scene for a sample of individual stories from women who lived through that era. The contraceptive pill, the late entrance to higher education and political activism are all part of the story. It's more than a conversation starter and the topics canvassed will no doubt invite discussion as well as debate. Many of the issues remain critically important today and none more so than online dating - age is no barrier to people seeking personal connection.
