Ageism within feminism.
Recently there has been heightened interest in linking feminist theory and nursing science. However, neither feminists nor feminist nursing scholars have included aging women in their analyses. This paper analyzes liberal, radical and socialist feminist theories and discusses the gap within all three vis-a-vis aging women. A case is presented for including aging women within feminist thinking and recommendations for incorporating feminist theory and aging within the science of nursing are explicated.
