Drawing on ethnographic research in salsa classes and oral histories this book details the everyday practices of femininity, heterosexuality and ‘new’ intimacies among women in midlife. Challenging conventional notions of the baby boomers it draws attention to how these practices are classed and raced, emphasising the quest for ‘respectability’. -- .
