Dementia: through the eyes of women

Nadia Savitch, Emily Abbott, Gillian Mary Parker

Social Policy Research Unit

Research output: Book/Report › Commissioned report

Abstract

Dementia disproportionately affects women but the experiences and voices of women are missing from the research and literature. This project provides a snapshot of the experiences, thoughts and opinions of women affected by dementia: women with a diagnosis of dementia, women who are caring for family or friends, and women working in one of the caring professions which support people with dementia. This report aims to inspire people to think differently about women and dementia by using stories and reflections from individual women to inform the debate in a unique and insightful way.
