Popis:	In this article, we pay attention to the voices of older women, both as writers and as fictional characters, and listen to the stories they tell about aging and about their lives. As Canadians transplanted from the United States, we focus on Canadian writers but also include some Americans; we look at published authors, women writing and talking around their kitchen tables, and women in longterm care. We hope to show how storytelling by the older woman—the crone, the elder—can enhance her presence in the world and let her share her wisdom with future generations.
