This innovative; ethnographic study of a neighborhood beauty salon investigates how customers constitute a lively; affirming community of peers during their weekly visits. Facing the Mirror gives voice to older women; who; in a sexist and ageist society; are frequently devalued and rendered invisible. These older; mostly Jewish women articulate their experiences of bodily self-presentation; femininity; aging; and caring pertaining to their lives within and outside Julies International Salon. This book explores the socio-moral significance of these experiences which reveals as much about society as about older women themselves. Womens narratives expose structures of power; inequality; and resistance in the ways women perceive reality; make choices and live in their worlds.
