Women in Midlife: Crises, Reverberations, and Support Networks
This paper focuses on select strengths and problems of women in midlife as viewed from a discussion and synthesis of an array of social and behavioral science findings. Starting with a definition of what constitutes midlife, crises, and reverberations, the paper addresses some commonly preferred support networks chosen by women in midlife with particular emphasis as to the perceived value of each as factors in adjustment and life satisfaction. Th…

The issue examined in this paper is the differential effect of kinship and friendship relationships on the life satisfaction of older peoplM.

Grandmotherhood: A Study of Role Conceptions
This research reports on the significance of grandmotherhood to an area probability sample of 125 females, most of whom were grandmothers, age 70 or over. Information reported in this paper was obtained from their responses to a series of highlystructured and open-ended questions administered by trained interviewers. The paper describes the development of a typology which was designed to identify, describe, and test four distinct types of grandpa…
