Autobiography Of An Elderly Woman

by Mary Heaton Vorse

Cover of Autobiography Of An Elderly Woman

The story of growing old in another age. The time is the early 1910s, the protagonist a grandmother. She complains her children treat her like a child, taking her for walks and car rides to keep her healthy, activities she hates. One can only speculate how grandma would view the modern practice of sending aging relatives to old people's homes.
