Retiring Men

Manhood, Labor, and Growing Old in America, 1900-1960

Beschreibung

This book explores how aging men struggled to sustain identities as workers, breadwinners, and patriarchs-the core ideals of twentieth-century masculinity-in the midst of increasing employer demands for the speed and stamina of youth in workplaces and the expansion of mandatory retirement policies in the age of Social Security.
