The aim of this thesis is to analyze urban professional women's perceptions of age and aging after retirement with a particular focus on patterns of continuity and change in their public and private lives. It first focuses on the perceptions of elderly women about their chronological ages. It then analyzes, the respondents’ perceptions on elderliness and is investigated. Lastly the social life experiences of respondents are analyzed with reference to their position and experiences in the public and private realm after retirement. The thesis argues that elderly women’s previous experience and participation in the public realm shape the ways in which they experience and perceive of elderliness after retirement. Their working experiences positively contribute to the process of aging; their involvement in the public realm continues and the social lives remain active. The study is based on the data collected during a fieldwork conducted in Ankara. 29 in-depth interviews were conducted with urban, retired, and educated women aged between 64-75.
